05.05.2026
In the first months following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Poland became a symbol of unprecedented solidarity. Millions of citizens spontaneously engaged in supporting refugees by offering accommodation, food, financial assistance, and emotional support. In the in‑depth report “The Polish‑Ukrainian Honeymoon Is Over,” published in The New Republic (April 2026), Marta Zaraska cites Professor Małgorzata Kossowska of the Behaviour in Crisis Lab, highlighting the shift from this extraordinary wave of solidarity at the onset of the war to a marked decline in public acceptance of refugees in subsequent years.

Crisis of Trust, Politicization, and Polarization: What Do Public Media Reforms Teach Us?
30.04.2026
In the article After the Takeover: Rebuilding Trust in Public Media Through Institutional Reform, published in the prestigious journal Political Behavior, the authors examine one of the key challenges facing contemporary democracies: how to rebuild public trust in state institutions after a period of deep politicization and a crisis of legitimacy. The study focuses on the Polish context of public media reforms introduced following the change of government in 2023, implemented under conditions of strong political polarization and low levels of trust in public TV.
