	The article is an attempt to present diff erent modalities of men’s communities in Józef Czechowicz’s short prose texts, which were created many years after and on the basis of his experiences during the Polish-Soviet War of 1919–1921. The author partly refers to Czechowicz’s biography and some memories of him, and also uses the concept of “homosocial desire” and Georges Bataille’s anthropologic theories. He aims to describe a wide spectrum of Czechowicz’s after-war fantasies about male bonds: brotherhood, fi ctional in-war family model (with a subconscious search for a symbolic Father), friendship and homoerotic partnership.
