The article shows that in the Polish and Belarusian historiography of the 2010s, while maintaining the traditional disagreements that formed back in the interwar period, new promising scientific approaches to the Belarusian issue emerged in the period 1918-1921. In the Polish historical science, attention is drawn to the concept of the “Polish-Belarusian knot” and the comparison of attempts to restore Polish statehood since 1916 with the formation of Belarusian state structures since 1918. A number of Belarusian historians have brought their positions closer to their Polish colleagues in assessing the causes and results of the Soviet-Polish war.
