Stanisław Stroński
Politician, Deceased Person
1882 – 1955
Who was Stanisław Stroński?
Stanisław Stroński was a Polish philologist, publicist and politician. In interwar Poland he edited the Rzeczpospolita newspaper and was a professor at Kraków's Jagiellonian University and at the Catholic University of Lublin. During World War II he was a member of the Polish government in exile. At war's end, he remained abroad.
He was a vocal prewar opponent of Poland's first president, Gabriel Narutowicz, and of Marshal Józef Piłsudski.
It was Stroński who coined the expression, "Miracle at the Vistula," intended to derogate Piłsudski's 1920 victory over the Soviets. Ironically, the expression quickly lost its intended meaning and was adopted with approval by some patriotically- or piously-minded Poles unaware of Stroński's ironic intent.
His academic interests centered around the literature of Provence.
