Many times in these pages, going against the grain of thoughtless apotheosis, I criticized Józef Piłsudski for the choice he made in May 1926. However, this does not change the general assessment that he belonged to the pantheon of Poland's greatest leaders and national hero. . Only a person with moral steel is able to struggle, despite the many humiliations in life and despite his own mistakes, towards the main desired goal. Józef Piłsudski was repeatedly faced with extremely difficult tests in his life. Others couldn't even survive the first attack. But this is how history chooses its greatest sons.
