The magazine was established by Wojciech Muszyński and his wife in 2003 – among its aims were to reject "political correctness" on controversial topics and present "truthful research" on Polish-Jewish relations.

[1] It is published in cooperation with the Department of Polish Studies at The Institute of World Politics.

[4] Andrzej Żbikowski believes that the publication's primary aim is to rehabilitate the wartime activities of the National Armed Forces unconditionally.

[5] Andreas Kahrs characterized Glaukopis as a right-wing source in a study of Polish right-wing extremism, noting that its website linked to that of the far right All-Polish Youth and that Muszyński had appeared as a speaker at events held by the extreme right-wing National Radical Camp; he viewed it as part of an effort by certain Polish historians to make the precursors of today's far-right organisations in Poland look respectable again.

[6] Jan Grabowski has judged the journal to cater to the Polish far right and considers it an unreliable source; he highlights that Mariusz Bechta, who continues to be affiliated with the journal, had published various works by European fascists, including Léon Degrelle, Julius Evola, and Jan Mosdorf.
