Abstract
Research carried out in the Laboratory of Professor Wiktor Kemula and his coworkers at the University of Warsaw in time of a divided world is described briefly. The description starts from the early works of Professor at the University of Jan Kazimierz in Lvov and ends around 1990, when important political transformations occured in Europe. Difficulties in research work, resulting from a divided world, of this laboratory and other electrochemical laboratories in Poland are presented.
