Memorial Stone to Emilia Plater Vasals Latgolā http://visitlatgale.com Memorial Stone to Emilia Plater The memorial sign is located in Liksna Trails, in the beginning of Emilia Plater path. Emilia Plater (1806 Vilnius – 1831 Kapchiamiestis) is Poland and Lithuanian national hero, who lived in Liksna estate since 1815. She led a patriot combat unit in Latgale and Lithuania, preparing to attack Daugavpils fortress; she died relatively early during the time of Polish uprising in the winter of 1831. The countess lived in Liksna from 1806 till 1829. The girl did not make a secret of her patriotic feelings. She joined her people fearlessly also in the Polish rebellion or in the time of uprising, which happened in 1830-1831. On March 23 in 1830 she took part in the divine service in Duset (Lithuania) church and then called the compatriots to the fight "with a sword and loose hair". After the crash of Polish and Tsar's army at Pristaine, the countess joined Polish fighters section, and there, Emilia Plater set up her own section. Later, the courageous countess was nominated as a commander of the 1st company of the 25th Lithuania's Infantry Regiment. In the memories of Polish fighters, you can read that Emilia Plater was a great military leader. Unfortunately, the Polish fighters suffered a defeat near Vilnius on July 6 in 1830 and Emilia Plater had to escape to Warsaw. In that period, the countess became seriously ill and died in the same year on December 31 at the age of 25. Poles assimilated Emilia Plater in fiction and art to the famous French Jeanne D’Arc. In Poland, streets, railway stations, schools etc. are named after her name. A portrait of Emilia Plater made by artist Sandis Greishkalns is stored in the library of Liksna parish.

    Tomasz Strzeżek Piotr Kiekiernicki - the Polish "Kamikaze" of the November Uprising (1830-1831) Echa Przeszłości 12, 73-83 2011 ECHA PRZESZŁOŚCI XII, 2011 ISSN 1509-9873 Tomasz Strzeżek PIOTR KIEKIERNICKI - THE POLISH “KAMIKAZE” OF THE NOVEMBER UPRISING (1830-1831) On 29 November 1830, an armed struggle that went down the history as the November Uprising broke out in Warsaw, the capital city of the Kingdom of Poland which was bound by a personal union with Russia. With time, the uprising spread to include Russia’s western governorates (the former territo­ ries of pre-partition Poland, today a part of Lithuania, Belarus and the Ukraine), posing a threat to Russia’s imperial rule. It was a significant event that has even been compared to Russia’s war against Napoleon in 1812. It is quite remarkable that an insurrection with such far-reaching consequences had been initiated by people who had no close connections with political and military elites and did not hold top-notch posts in the state administration or the army. The insurgents were motivated by patriotism and the determina­ tion to improve their fate. Members of the Wysocki Conspiracy who took to the streets and mobilized the army and the civilians to stage a fight against Russia had no intentions to assume power in a country that was struggling to regain its independence. They entrusted this task to the old elites which, as they hoped, would lead the nation into battle. Titled politicians and officers took control over the uprising, but they had little belief in its mili­ tary success.

  • From Noble Knights to Polish Warriors? Reconfigurations of Masculinities and Femininities in Polish Revolutionary Warfare and During the Times of Partition
    Rocznik Antropologii Historii, 2014, rok IV, nr 2(7), ss. 17–35 FROM NOBLE KNIGHTS TO POLISH WARRIORS? RECONFIGURATIONS OF MASCULINITIES AND FEMININITIES IN POLISH REVOLUTIONARY WARFARE AND DURING THE TIMES OF PARTITION CLAUDIA KRAFT The period between the first partition of Poland in 1772 and the participation of Polish soldiers in Napoleonic warfare in the ranks of the Polish Legions at the end of the 18th and at the beginning of the 19th century (until the foundation of the Duchy of Warsaw in 1807) has been crucial for the reshaping not only of a certain sense of Polish citizenship but also for a new definition of gender roles in Polish society. The permanent warfare and the close connection between a revolutionary attitude of national uprising and a new concept of citizenship no longer dependent on a noble origin but on civil or military service for the “fatherland in distress”which meant a new notion of soldiership. On the one hand one can observe a development quite similar to experiences in Western Europe, i.e. the pushing aside of women from the public sphere as a consequence of the ever closer connection between military duties and receiving political rights. On the other hand, the state of emergency during the uprisings and the national struggle for independence opened new opportunities for female agency. Quite an important role played also the legacy of the reshaping of gender roles in the late Republic of Nobles, when the basic layers of citizenship had been renegotiated. Polish political reformers stressed the role of military virtue but they also focussed on the importance of the future soldier’s education that almost without exceptions they saw lying in the hand of the mothers1.

Book Reviews 765 Lovejoy insightfully analyzes some of the best short documentary fi lms made at the end of the 1950s. While ostensibly serving the thematic aim of promot- ing Soviet military standards of correct behavior and comportment by criticizing negative examples, these fi lms visually exhibited the attractiveness and even the po- tential legitimacy of romantic priorities. The ambiguities and paradoxes of personal and socio-political behavior were to become a prevalent theme in Czech New Wave fi lms.

  • Time and History at the Crossroads of Polish Imaginary Genres. Krzysztof Piskorski’S Czterdzieści I Cztery and Andrzej Pilipiuk’S Operacja Dzień Wskrzeszenia
    CROSSROADS. A Journal of English Studies Ewa Drab 10.15290/cr.2017.18.3.03 University of Silesia in Katowice Time and History at the Crossroads of Polish Imaginary Genres. Krzysztof Piskorski’s Czterdzieści i cztery and Andrzej Pilipiuk’s Operacja Dzień Wskrzeszenia Abstract. The present article is an attempt to examine the meaning of time and history in Polish steampunk and science fiction, where time-related concepts constitute the foundations of the genres. As it locates steampunk in a precise period of the 19th century, history determines its definition, regardless of the nationality of the author. What differs in the Polish variation of steampunk is the spatial, not temporal, frame, a modification clearly visible in Krzysztof Piskorski’s Czterdzieści i cztery (2016), where the Polish fight for independence is presented through the prism of the protagonist’s journey across European countries. In science fiction, the determinant factor is time in time travel, as well as the historical perspective of the idea of progress. The presentation of Andrzej Pilipiuk’s Operacja Dzień Wskrzeszenia (2006) proves the importance of time in science fiction and points to the paradoxes which SF authors have to face. All in all, the examination of both novels shows the difference in the approach adopted by two 21st century Polish writers towards different, yet similar, concepts. Key words: History, time, Krzysztof Piskorski, Andrzej Pilipiuk, Polish fantasy, steampunk, science-fiction. Introduction The flow of time, history and the prediction of the future constitute an important part of the narra- tives and world-building in fantasy, science-fiction and kindred genres.

Lauded during her time as the most popular artist in Poland, the acceptance of Stryjeńska’s female voice in representing a national vocabulary was unprecedented and deserves closer examination.

  • Adam Mickiewicz - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Adam Mickiewicz - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Adam Mickiewicz(24 December 1798 – 26 November 1855) Adam Bernard Mickiewicz (Lithuanian: Adomas Bernardas Mickevicius) was a Polish (Polish-Lithuanian) poet, publisher and political writer of the Romantic period. One of the primary representatives of the Polish Romanticism era, a national poet of Poland, he is seen as one of Poland's Three Bards and the greatest poet in all of Polish literature. He is also considered one of the greatest Slavic language or European poets. He has been described as a Slavonic bard. He was a prominent creator of Romantic drama in Poland and has been compared both at home and in Western Europe to Byron and Goethe. He is known primarily as the author of the poetic novel Dziady and national epic Pan Tadeusz, which is considered the last great epic of Polish-Lithuanian noble culture. Mickiewicz's other influential works include Konrad Wallenrod and Grazyna. All served as inspiration during regional uprisings and as foundations for the concept of Poland as "the Christ of Nations." Mickiewicz was active in the struggle to achieve independence for his homeland, then part of the Russian Empire. Having spent five years in internal exile in central Russia for political activities, he left the Empire in 1829 and spent the rest of his life in emigration, like many of his compatriots. He settled first in Rome, later in Paris, where he became professor of Slavic literature at the Collège de France. He died, probably of cholera, at Constantinople in the Ottoman Empire, where he had gone to help organize Polish forces to fight against Russia in the Crimean War.
