The way in which Sikorski and his policy are remembered and judged by the vast majority of Poles owes much to the legend that has surrounded him since his tragic and mysterious death and has little to do with his real accomplishments.Sikorski succeeded in passing himself off as true democrat by throwing into doubt achievements of the Piłsudski adherents and by contesting the political system they created. In truth, the Prime Minister did nothing to introduce a democratic style of exercising power. To make things worse, in the exercise of power he quite deliberately made use of the same instruments once made use of by his predecessors, thus abusing it the same way they did. One is tempted to think that Sikorski was unable to liberate himself from the influence exerted on him by Józef Piłsudski. As a Prime Minister he failed to elaborate a model of exercising power different from that established by Piłsudski whom Sikorski admired and hated at the same time. In truth, he may have considered the model elaborated by Piłsudski as ideal worth copying. But the socalled July crisis of 1940 when there took place a clash between Sikorski and Piłsudski adherents which resulted in debilitating both sides of this conflict made it necessary for Sikorski to rely for the exercise of power on cooperation with traditional political parties. AlthoughSikorski never eschewed his authoritarian tendencies, in 1940 he actually lost any chance to rise to a position once held by the Marshal Piłsudski.
