The article discusses how historical sociology in Poland has evolved over time, influenced by political changes and international connections. Before 1989, historical sociology was not well-established, but studies showed a strong use of historical imagination. After 1989, the use of history in Polish sociology was shaped by the country's transition from communism. The role of historical sociology in Poland has been influenced by the past as a symbolic resource in political debates. The shift to the third wave of historical sociology was mainly driven by political factors.
