Stanislaw Szukalski, a.k.a. "Stach from Warta" (1893 - 1987) - Polish sculptor, painter, draughtsman, designer and theoretician, leader of theRogate Heart Strain. He worked mainly in the United States. In addition to his numerous artistic works, he also created a concept about the origin of the ancient Poles (Lechites) called Zermatism, considered a pseudo-science. During the interwar period, he was one of the more colorful figures in the artistic life of Warsaw and Krakow.
In 2018, Leonardo DiCaprio, along with Anna Dobrowolska, co-produced a documentary film about Szukalski available on Netflix[8] - Fight: the life and lost work of Stanislaw Szukalski. The director of the film was Ireneusz Dobrowolski.
Krak son of Ludola - dziejawa in ten frostbites, dedicated to "Slavic Youth", tells the mythical history of Great Slavonia subjugated by savage Bijymds adhering to the cult of the god Hjeh Weha. Krak, the son of Ludola - a blind blacksmith forging souls - comes to fight them. After numerous twists and turns, dramatic rituals described in the chapter "Ukara and Obryzga", Krak destroys the Wawel Dragon and throws off the hated yoke. Slavia becomes free.
Axe- a symbol depicting a double-edged axe with an eagle's head, designed in 1935 by Szukalski as the emblem of reborn Poland ("Poland the Second"). The eagle's head was stylized in the shape of a hook to symbolize a break with tradition.
