He founded the Polish Legions, played a decisive role in restoring independence in 1918, and served as Commander‑in‑Chief during the Polish–Bolshevik War of 1920. His strategy in the Battle of Warsaw — often referred to as the “Miracle on the Vistula” — is credited with safeguarding both the newly reborn Polish state and Europe from Bolshevik expansion. His mare Kasztanka accompanied him for years and became closely associated with his public image. Piłsudski was frequently portrayed on her in photographs and paintings. The figurine is intended as a reminder of Piłsudski and Kasztanka, whose stories remain an important part of Poland’s historical memory.
