The Kresy myth is a view of the Kresy borderlands, part of Poland during the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the First Polish Republic, which after 1945 were separated from Poland. The Kresy myth is an important component of the Polish national mythology. According to Leszek Szaruga [pl], "The myth of the kresy is a myth founded in many respects on the sentimental self - delusion of the Poles". According to Antony Polonsky, this is a particularly harsh view.
