Abstract
The focus of the article is to evaluate the current shape of the Polish-Ukrainian border and aftermaths connected to its modern-day shape. The main goal is to answer the question how significant were the alterations in mentality and thinking regarding Polish-Ukrainian relations among the people of both nationalities and the impact of the Polish-Ukrainian border on those alterations. The empirical part of this article is based on two polls conducted among both Polish and Ukrainian society members, respectively in the Polish and the Russian language. Both quantitative and qualitative methods help to understand that both communities had tightened their relations which significantly flourished in the past few decades. Polish-Ukrainian border had a noteworthy influence on the relationship of the two nations through the centuries.
