The purpose of the research consists in clarifying the features of modern vision of strategies and a historical role of Hetman Petro Sahaidachny in the Polish historiography. The methodology of the research involves the use of symbiosis of comparative studies methods, contextual analysis, convergence from the abstract to the concrete and vice versa. The scientific novelty is determined by the fact that the approaches of modern Polish historians to conceptualization of Petro Sahaidachny’s activity have been clarified; the intellectual bases of the formation of the field of interpretation have been determined; and the Polish discourse has been inscribed in the modern historiographical context; echoes with ideas developed in other historiographies have been observed. The Conclusions. Modern scientific understanding of P. Sahaidachny’s activities and historical role by the Polish historians is strongly influenced by the penetration into the discourse of the issue, related to clarifying the identity of the rus’ka nobility, the Orthodox model of the “rus’ky people”, the involvement of the Cossacks in the struggle for the protection of the Orthodox faith, “the rights and freedoms of the rus’ky people”. These issues led to enrichment of P. Sahaidachny’s scientific image in the Polish historiography. The military component, which traditionally dominated and prevails nowadays, was balanced by factors arising from the evolution of the Cossack demands from purely caste to the idea of the Cossacks as a member of the “rus’ky people” and a defender of its interests within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. P. Sahaidachny’s modern image includes his achievements as a commander and organizer of an extraordinary role of the Zaporozhian Army in the wars of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as well as political concepts about the place and role of the Cossacks in the Ukrainian society. The majority of conceptual positions that are in a scientific circulation in the Polish historiography resonate with the visions of the Ukrainian historians regarding the interests of P. Sahaidachny within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Key words: Petro Sahaidachny, modern Polish historiography, concepts, scientific ideas, key trends.
