Basin Dabrowski turns into a kind of museum. Sosnowiec today lies in the Silesia Province, belongs to the Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union, will be included in a future "Silesia" and the whole of Poland is seen as a city of Upper Silesia.
beginning of the end
creation in 1999 of the present region "Silesian" coincided with the liquidation of the mining industry in ZD, which can be regarded as symbolic and practical date to say farewell to a certain age. Dabrowski Cities region were then formally absorbed by the Upper Silesia, while lost something I always identified the coal industry that is. Identity zagłębiowska was in fact built over decades based on the traditions of the mining industry, and importantly, in isolation from Malopolska. Malopolska region devoid of roots, in addition, very large territorially, it has become so (becoming) as an easy target for thirsty new areas, neighboring Silesia.
The museum zagłębiowskiego are people still believing themselves to be Zagłębiaków and few institutions that support this region. Do not include the prośląscy to him by politicians and supporters of "Silesia" (Gorski, Winiarski, Podraza and their ilk), because for them Dabrowski Basin is just vanishing in the sub-GSL ..
Museum of Upper Silesia
Brynicy On the other side there is also a kind of museum people who do not want to go with the times, but their situation is incomparably better. Name of the region, its symbolism, perception in the media, support from national institutions and provincial museum dąbrowski far apart from the Upper Silesia. The first one is fighting for the right to exist, the latter only the directions of development (autonomy, woj. Upper Silesia, etc...) Comparing the situation of these two worlds is simply not in place, and sometimes it happens, unfortunately, also in Sosnowiec forums.
"Administrators"?
It is also true that the Province of Silesia was built entirely by sterile with all identity, "administrators." Between those who want the province Upper Silesia within the historical range (as few of them) and migrant administrators are still Silesians who have a different vision for the region (United Silesia), and they are numerous enough in the power structure of this province that they can successfully push through all of what they want (see - force terminology here.)
In truth we also note that, while politicians are passive and ZD spolegliwi report, however, sometimes demands a pro-Zagłębie. She was the amendment in the Parliament asks that this voivodship name "Silesian-Dąbrowa (about 150 deputies voted in favor), there were also demands the introduction of the symbolism of Malopolska (Little Poland Silesia-coat), and finally were disputes as to the name of the Metropolitan Association. They are all gone, because there is no tolerance for diversity in this province, but there is no plans to distribute it, what is not.
Masterplan
Silesian region is an artificial region internally inconsistent and unstable. Even his name causes the conflict and no one really knows what it is all over. As many as half of the Malopolska province is a historical, regional identity on the "conquered" areas increases, it may happen so that Silesia would not be able to digest and absorb these areas permanently. But silesianiści have delineated a plan and consistently implement it. First won Province. "Silesian", later designated MAUS, now working on the metropolis, and how to achieve this goal, and - will strengthen cooperation within the agglomeration until the rise of an integrated city of two millions. Silesia is to be 10x greater than małopolsko-Silesian Bielsko-Biala, and it will be 10 times harder to build, but the course was marked out and the ship may cause slow, flowing to the target.
Rough
What has been written above is not meant to pit someone situation of the region, but to describe reality. Many people in the ZD because cheating is arguing that "we have our region", whereas this region is just leftovers and the myth of being a native memory. On the fringes of cities, ZD long installs Silesia became here the real host. The existence of "museum" absolutely does not bother silesianistom - let Zagłębiaków consider it, let them say it is a region, as long as nothing changed .
From the viewpoint of supporters of Silesia, but to the best museum did not realize that it is (hence, insisting that the name of the region irrelevant, etc.). A good example is indeed a password: Silesia Silesia is not . He uses it both a "museum" and silesianiści. For the latter, it is used to toning moods and demands of the rebels - not rebel against the name, after all, state "Silesian" is not Silesia, and how bad you are fighting with niedouczonymi journalists (ie, with windmills to infinity). In other words, at the present day for the supporters of "Silesia" is reality, and for "museum" merely illusions and fight for the crumbs.
