Jan Pękosławski, the leader of the Polish Patriotic Emergency, was almost unanimously proclaimed an unbalanced man by the then political class. His memoirs, written in difficult circumstances, prove, however, that this did not have to be the case. Pękosławski dared to show the buffoonish faces and operetta character of the state personified by them. His critical view of the then reality made him the target of attacks from politicians from left to right. Let us remember, however, that the universality of a view does not have to determine its truth.

Pękosławski's memoirs reveal the defective functioning of the state apparatus, which resulted not only from the quality of officials, but also from administrative and judicial procedures and the pursuit of statism. His account of the conversation with Minister Szeptycki, in which Pękosławski mentions plans to arrest ministers for 10 days, shows the determination and radicalism of his organization. Pękosławski, although controversial, remains an important figure for understanding Polish history and politics.
