It would seem that the function of the Chief of State is of purely historical significance and connected with the role played by Józef Piłsudski in the restoration of Polish statehood one hundred years ago. Recently, however, the concept of the Chief of State appears as a publicist figure regarding Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of the Law and Justice (PiS). In this essay, the authors would like to evaluate the accuracy of such a comparison. According to their observations, the labelling the current PiS leader as the Chief of State is definitely inadequate. It follows from the fact that his contemporary influence on the functioning of the state is not supported by either personal services or performing state functions. It is based on mythical categories, built on emotions and instruments of historical politics, rather than on real systemic circumstances.
