The understanding of national history and the structure of historical text. About some text-forming devices on the example of Polish historyIn the article some operational terms in historical text (here in the genre of the popular-scientific synthesis of a national history) are taken into consideration, notably: final (term by Boris Uspienski) and narration/narrative. It is demonstrated how the last link of a chain of events in historical representation – called by Uspienski the final – influences, and in fact enables, the very construction of any story about the past. Moreover, the final makes it possible to grasp all historical entities (protagonists, events, etc.) within a defined axiological sphere. Thus, some entities are considered to be good whereas some other are bad. Their role in a narrative is determined in relation to the final that affirms a teleology of a nation (here in the example of Polish nation). In this context, the two concepts that of event and process, taken from narratology (Doležel and van Dijk), are elaborated.
