The paper presents, firstly, the phenomenon of internationalisation of Polish higher education, especially the structural conditions of pursuing studies by people of Polish origin from the post-Soviet successor states. Secondly, the article investigates biographical implications of students' roots migration to the ancestral homeland. It concentrates on the individual determinants of their mobility, including sociocultural background, role of the family and local community, as well as national ideologies and images of Poland and Polishness they have been exposed to in their countries of birth and upon relocation to Poland. Empirical data covers autobiographical narrative interviews with the examined students.(original abstract)
