The problem of origin of the so-called "Greater Poland" helmets is not solved in modern historiog... more The problem of origin of the so-called "Greater Poland" helmets is not solved in modern historiography. All four helmets were found in Greater Poland – the center of the state of Mieszko I, which gave pretext to talk of their belonging to a separate "Greater Polish type" of helmets, although modern scholars consider them to be Ruthenian in origin, imported to Poland or taken by Bolesław during his Kyiv campaign of 1018 as trophies.
Greater Poland finds have their analogies in the materials of early medieval Prussia, Ruthenia and Hungary in the 10–11th centuries. This may indicate the close links of the population of Poland with these regions: arms trade, borrowing of armourer technology and/or military conflicts, which resulted in helmets being transferred to Poland as trophies. To resolve the issue of identifying the place of manufacture of discussed helmets, one should appeal to the chronology of distribution of this type of helmets in Eastern Europe and synchronize this distribution with the processes of Arab silver import and the military conflicts between Eastern Vikings and the Khazar Khaganate

утворювалися польські військові формування під австро-угорським командуванням – Легіони Польські – та під російським – Польські війська (корпуси). Документи обох цих формувань потрапили до українських архівів. Метою даної статті є інформування про маловідомі документи з архівів України, що здатні суттєво допомогти при вивченні історії польського збройного чину під час Першої світової війни

JOINING OF 2nd BRIGADE OF POLISH LEGIONS WITH THE 2nd POLISH CORPS IN UKRAINE
The article is devoted to the union of Polish military forces of the Austro-Hungarian and Russian sides of the front of the First World War – the
2nd Brigade of the Polish Legions and 2nd Polish Corps. The signing by the Ukrainian People's Republic peace treaty in Brest-Litovsk on February
9, 1918 included the Holm and Podlasie regions, which were claimed by the Poles, to the UPR. This caused protests in Poland. The documents call one of the strongest protests against those Brest peace treaty positions the transition of front by the 2nd Polish Legions Brigade led by Colonel Józef Haller. Article without touching of well studied aspect of combat near Rarancha the 2nd brigade fought with Austro-Hungarian troops, highlights the fate of the Brigade after crossing the front. On the other side of the front at the beginning of 1918 the Polish national formations of the Russian Army were formed – 2nd and 3rd Polish Corps placed in Bessarabia and Podolia. The article based on archival documents shows how the 2nd Brigade first tried to unite the scattered Polish units under his command, but soon, due to the Austro-Hungarian attack on the territory of Ukraine in late February 1918, the 2nd Brigade went to Soroky in Bessarabia, housed the headquarters of 2nd Polish Corps. The article reveals the transformation of the military units of the 2nd Brigade, which occurred after its accession to the 2nd Corps, which ended with the formation on March 10, 1918 of the 5th Rifle Division, which was led by the commander of the disbanded 2nd Brigade Józef Haller. The article deals with the fate of former soldiers of the brigade after the March 1918 when all 2nd Polish Corps crossed the Dniester.
