Through their reports, analyses, and interpretations, diplomats shape a modicum of knowledge about the state in which they operate. Based on Yugoslav and Polish archival materials and memorial literature, the following contribution explores how diplomats from both countries contributed to the knowledge about Yugoslavia and Poland in the first years after World War II. The article takes into account the factors that influenced the production of knowledge in diplomacy and answers the question of whether the Yugoslav and Polish political decision-makers applied the newly acquired knowledge and how. The first post-war elections in both countries serve as a case study: they allowed diplomats to gain an insight into the operations of the local political elites; shed light on the attitude of the population towards the new authorities; and answered the question of how far the communists were willing to go in their struggle for powerDiplomacija ima edinstven vpogled v družbenopolitične razmere posameznih držav in diplomati s svojim poročanjem, analizami in interpretacijami oblikujejo določeno védenje o državi, kjer delujejo. Prispevek na podlagi jugoslovanskega in poljskega arhivskega gradiva ter spominske literature obravnava, kako so k védenju o Jugoslaviji in Poljski prispevali diplomati obeh držav v prvih letih po drugi svetovni vojni. Ob tem upošteva dejavnike, ki so vplivali na produkcijo védenja v diplomaciji in odgovarja na vprašanje, če in kako so jugoslovanski in poljski politični odločevalci novo pridobljeno znanje uporabili. Kot študija primera služijo prve povojne volitve v obeh državah, ki so diplomatom omogočile dober vpogled v način delovanja političnih elit, osvetlile odnos prebivalstva do novih oblasti in odgovorile na vprašanje, kako daleč so bili komunisti pripravljeni iti v boju za oblastTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZgodovinsko društvo dr.
