The film is one of few examples of political documentaries produced in Poland after 1989. It is not limited to merely outlining the political argument over General Jaruzelski's decision to impose martial law. Although it concerns events in Polish history, it is not a historical documentary, as it brings forth present-day political conflicts that have arisen around historical events. Trying to reconstruct this current political argument, Zmarz-Koczanowicz reaches for a method developed in the 1970s by the so-called "Kraków School" led by Krzysztof Kieślowski. ^e "talking heads" method was meant to help documentary filmmakers in the Polish People's Republic reach what the person in the street actually thought and avoid the distortions of propaganda. For Kieślowski, however, the overriding aim was conciliation and an attempt to understand both sides of the political barricade - the authorities and the vox popu- li. His attitude, according to the terminology suggested by Chantal Mouffe, was a post-political one striving for an agreement through a rational dialogue. Zmarz-Koczanowicz's aim, however, is different: she is intent on showing a clash of different hegemonies that do not strive for consensus. Their agonistic argument, played out in the political register, rather than a moral one, is a guarantee, according to this Belgian philosopher of politics, that democracy will continue to exist.

Current events in Ukraine and the world's response on them, urged the authors of the article to search the answers to a rhetorical question. Why are the Ukrainians not able to properly mold the political system, making repeatedly attempts to establish its distinguished features. The authors of the article aim at a thorough investigating of the Ukrainian scientific thought rather than analyzing the course of events – current or previous – to give the answer to a burning issue. How come? In the past, but mostly at the present time, the problem rises both in a scientific environment and in the society on the whole. As an illustration, the authors have chosen some published research-documentary positions, to figure out the push-pull factors of the present phenomenon, disturbing the Ukrainian society. ; Dzisiejsze wydarzenia na Ukrainie oraz reakcja na nie świata cywilizowanego pobudziły autorów artykułu do poszukiwania odpowiedzi na pytanie retoryczne: Dlaczego Ukraińcy dotychczas nie mogą w należyty sposób ukształtować swojej państwowości, mimo że próbowano to niejednokrot­nie uczynić? Autorzy postawili sobie za cel nie przeprowadzać analizy przebiegu wydarzeń teraźniejszych lub wcze­śniejszych, a spróbować przestudiować myśl naukową Ukrainy w zakresie poszukiwania odpowiedzi na palącą kwestię: Dlaczego?W przeszłości, a współcześnie jeszcze częściej, problem ten podejmowany jest tak w środowisku na­ukowym, jak i w całym społeczeństwie. Autorzy dla przykładu wybrali niektóre pozycje druków ba­dawczo-dokumentalnych, aby wyjaśnić pochodzenie dzisiejszych zjawisk nurtujących społeczeństwo ukraińskie.
