This article discusses child welfare in the Polish-Ukrainian borderlands in communist Poland after the Second World War. The author analyses the provision practices to the multinational cohort of borderland children, which were delivered amid massive movements of populations, military contestation of the newly drawn Polish-Ukrainian border and a radicalisation of the Polish state's understanding of citizenship. The study argues that while communist Poland framed child welfare as an age-based category of assistance, the engagement with minors' ethnic, national and cultural characteristics would become increasingly prominent in shaping the central state and local providers' patterns of provision
