Link to the Lesson You will learn to describe the most important historical events of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; to list the crises that struck Poland in the eighteenth century and what attempts at reform were undertaken; to explain the historical significance of the collapse of the Polish‐Lithuanian Commonwealth. Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu By the eighteenth century, the Polish‐Lithuanian political system became anachronistic. The state was becoming ever weaker. It did not pursue an active foreign policy; it was more of an object than a subject on the international stage. Due to the presence of the liberum veto, the nobility obstructed attempts at reform with ease. One deputy’s vote against a project was enough to dismiss the entire Sejm. The representatives of the nobility oftentimes accepted bribes from foreign powers that wished to keep Poland‐Lithuania weak. Russia had ever more say in the affairs of the country. When Stanisław II Augustus was elected King, some of the patriotically inclined nobles rebelled against his rule and created the Bar Confederation The part of the military that remained loyal to the King suppressed the rebellion with the aid of Russian forces. Capitalizing upon the opportunity, Russia, Austria, and Prussia conducted the First Partition of Poland in 1772.

Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Anna Kovalchuk iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Anna Kovalchuk Doctor of Philosophy Department of Comparative Literature June 2017 Title: Narrating the National Future: The Cossacks in Ukrainian and Russian Romantic Literature This dissertation investigates nineteenth-century narrative representations of the Cossacks—multi-ethnic warrior communities from the historical borderlands of empire, known for military strength, pillage, and revelry—as contested historical figures in modern identity politics. Rather than projecting today’s political borders into the past and proceeding from the claim that the Cossacks are either Russian or Ukrainian, this comparative project analyzes the nineteenth-century narratives that transform pre- national Cossack history into national patrimony. Following the Romantic era debates about national identity in the Russian empire, during which the Cossacks become part of both Ukrainian and Russian national self-definition, this dissertation focuses on the role of historical narrative in these burgeoning political projects.

The paper presents a mineralogical analysis of sediments of the biggest lake in the Morasko Meteorite Reserve (Poland). The lake is filled by phytogenic sediments at the top, while at the bottom there are Neogene clays. The main components are: clay minerals in fine fraction and quartz and feldspars in coarse sandy fractions. The presence of disturbed ferrous zones suggests the existence of a dynamic factor that caused deformations in the sediments. Cavities, crevices, cracks, Key words: and traces of parching or fragmentation of mineral material can be interpreted as deformations related meteorite Morasko, to the impact of meteorite fragments in non-consolidated soft sediments in the Morasko meteorite lake, nature reserve.

This paper presents the results of geomorphological investigations of bowl-shaped hollows in “Rezerwat Meteoryt Morasko” – Morasko Meteorite Nature Reserve – of Poland and of mineralogical studies of recently found meteorites and micrometeorites. The meteorite shower fell between 5000 and 3500 BP, forming craters in the Morasko area. The age interval for this event was estimated by earlier palynological and 14C studies. The Morasko meteorite is an iron type octahedrite (IAB group) which shows strong reheating effects. The investigated area is unique, because the material from space and the geomorphological effects of its fall can be identified there.

  • The Polish-Lithuanian Republic of Nobles in the French Political Thought (1573-1795)1
    Open Political Science, 2020; 3: 231–242 Research Article Teresa Malinowska* The Polish-Lithuanian Republic of Nobles in the French political thought (1573-1795)1 https://doi.org/10.1515/openps-2020-0021 received July 1, 2020; accepted August 10, 2020. Abstract: The modern Polish-Lithuanian Republic drew the attention of many French political authors like Théodore de Bèze, Jean Boucher, Jean Bodin, Henri de Boulainvilliers, Montesquieu, Voltaire or Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The Sarmatian State appeared in French political literature in 1573, when the French prince Henri de Valois was elected king of the Polish-Lithuanian Republic, until 1795, when it disappeared from the map of Europe. It appeared not only in political treaties but also in pamphlets, manifestos and travel literature. This article aims at analysing this continuous presence, which constitutes a fascinating key for reading the French political debates of the modern era. Keywords: Modern republicanism; modern absolutism; mixed monarchy; modern political thought; European history; history of representations; Franco-Polish relationships. In his monography, Olivier Christin wrote about the elections in medieval and modern Europe: “It is precisely by recalling that past that we can understand some of the issues discussed today about the forms of democratic political life”2. This way, the French historian underlined the meaning of political concepts and practices inherited from the past. When talking about the electoral phenomenon in the modern era, one cannot forget the experience of the Polish- Lithuanian Republic. Yet, it seems that it was still poorly apprehended. In 2008, Marc Bélissa made an important statement concerning French eighteenth century studies: if the significance of the English or the Swedish model in the enlightenment republican thought was quite well-known in France and Europe, the influence of the Rzeczpospolita was often forgotten3.
