The University of Texas at Austin, 2004 Supervisor: Katherine Arens This dissertation tests Benedict Anderson’s thesis about the coherence of imagined communities by tracing how Galicia, as the heart of a Polish culture in the nineteenth century that would never be an independent nation state, emerged as an historical, cultural touchstone with present day significance for the people of Europe. After the three Partitions and Poland’s complete disappearance from political maps of Europe, substitute images of Poland were sought that could replace its lost kingdom with alternate forms of national identity grounded in culture and tradition rather than in politics. Not the hereditary dynasty, not Prussia or Russia, but Galicia emerged as the imagined and representative center of a Polish culture without a state. This dissertation juxtaposes political realities with canonical literary texts that provide images of a cultural community among ethnic Germans and Poles sharing the border of Europe. -

From the Polish Times of Pera
From the Polish Times of Pera Late Ottoman Istanbul through the Lens of Polish emigration Paulina Dominik Introduction In the aftermath of the final partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Common- wealth (1795) by Russia, Prussia, and Austria, the Ottoman Empire became one of the chief destinations for Polish political émigrés. 1 Poles fled to Istanbul in the hope of securing Ottoman support in their efforts to regain national indepen- dence. e importance that the Ottoman Empire held for the Polish national activities of the nineteenth century was stressed by such emblematic events as the foundation of the Agency of the Polish Eastern Mission (Agencja Główna Misji Wschodniej) in Istanbul in 1841, the establishment in 1842 of the Polish village called Adampol/Polonezköy, (today part of the Beykoz district in Istanbul), as well as the organization of the Sultanic Cossacks’ Division, commanded by Polish officers during the Crimean War (1853–56). e Polish presence in the Otto- man Empire, however, was not limited to activities aimed at the restoration of an independent Poland; rather, Polish émigrés also played an active role in various enterprises connected to the reforms of the Ottoman state. From the Polish Times of Pera 92 e Polish presence in nineteenth-century Istanbul is even reflected in the names of some Beyoğlu streets. Until the mid-twentieth century today’s Nur-i Ziya Street—one of the side streets of Istiklâl Caddesi—was called Leh Sokağı (Polish Street). One of the streets in Tarlabaşı, where Poland’s chief Romantic poet Adam Mickiewicz (1798–1855) spent the last days of his life, used to be called until recently, Adam Mickiewicz’s Street. -
Close Countries – Distant Countries. Polish-Swiss Freedom Analogies in the 19Th and 20Th Centuries

Polish-Swiss Freedom Analogies in the 19th and 20th Centuries Kraje bliskie – kraje dalekie. Polsko-szwajcarskie analogie wolnościowe w XIX/XX w. ABSTRACT The French Revolution became an inspiration for freedom movements not only in France itself, but also beyond its borders. The ideals expressed in the Declaration of the Rights of the Man and of the Citizen also animated revolutionary and national liberation movements in Switzerland and on Polish soil throughout the long 19th century. The histo- riography of both countries tends to attribute a special role to Switzerland for the Polish idea of independence, as a country that is a refuge of freedom. The Poles deprived of it were to benefit from the support of the Swiss in their efforts to regain independence. Ho- wever, there is limited confirmation for this finding in historical facts. They prove that despite the common beginning of the liberal ideas of the 19th century, as the French Re- volution can be considered, the social history of the Swiss and Poles ran along completely PUBLICATION INFO e-ISSN: 2449-8467 ISSN: 2082-6060 THE AUTHOR’S ADDRESS: Piotr Bednarz, the Institute of History of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, 4A Maria Curie-Skłodowska Square, Lublin 20-031, Poland SOURCE OF FUNDING: Statutory Research of the Institute of History of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin SUBMITTED: ACCEPTED: PUBLISHED ONLINE: 2020.02.04 2020.07.07 2020.12.28 EDITORIAL WEBSITE OF THE JOURNAL: COMMITTEE E-mail: https://journals.umcs.pl/rh [email protected] 234 PIOTR BEDNARZ different paths. -

Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie dźwiękowe abstraktu. After the defeat of Russia in the Crimean War, Tsar Alexander II was forced to mitigate his internal policy in the state. This period is called the post‐Sovastopol's thaw. Since the 60s of nineteenth century in the Kingdom of Poland the patriotic moods increased. The party of the so‐called The Whites counted on Russia's conflict with Western countries, thanks to which Poland would be reborn. The so‐called The Reds were seeking to the outbreak of a national uprising. The extraordinary conscription to the Russian army (Polish name: „branka”) accelerated the decisions of the Reds about the beginning of the uprising, which took place on January 22, 1863. The battles during the uprising was a kind of guerrilla war. After the execution of the last dictator of the uprising - Romuald Traugutt (by the hands of the Russians), the uprising fell. Soon after, Tsar Alexander II abolished the political separateness of the Kingdom of Poland. During his reign, a full Russification of Polish education and administration began. In 1874, the Kingdom of Poland, divided into 10 gubernia, was incorporated into Russia with the imposed authorities of the general‐governor. -

Mementoes of the January Uprising in Radom
MEMENTOES OF THE JANUARY UPRISING IN RADOM The uprising broke out on 22nd January 1863 and lasted until the autumn of 1864. It was the biggest national Polish rebellious bid for independence. Representatives of all social classes joined the ranks: nobility and gentry, craftsmen and young people. It met with wide support from international public opinion. It was a guerrilla war in which there were about 1200 battles and skirmishes. Despite initial successes, the uprising ended in failure. Tens of thousands of insurgents were killed, nearly 1000 were executed, about 38,000 were sentenced to penal servitude or sent down to Siberia, and about 10,000 emigrated. One of the positive effects of the uprising was the affranchisement of peasants which was carried out more radically than anywhere else in this part of Europe. Although the time goes by, a lot of traces of dramatic events from that period have been preserved in Radom.

It was extended in the 16th century by adding St. Anne’s chapel and later in the 19th century St. Agnes’ chapel.

Journal of Economics and Management ISSN 1732-1948 Vol. 20 (A) • 2015 Janusz Mierzwa Department of Contemporary History of Poland Jagiellonian University [email protected] Polish-Turkish relations in the 19th and 20th centuries: The struggle for independence and modernization Abstract 2014 marked the 600th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations be- tween Poland and Turkey. The related celebration has been perceived as a way to broad- en bilateral relations between the two nations, as collaboration has not fully achieved its economic potential. The past 200 years of Polish-Turkish relations depicted in this arti- cle stand as a remarkable example of cooperation between two different cultures and tradi- tions. Recent Polish-Turkish relations as seen in a broader European context represent the emergence of a “new beginning” of opportunity for both nations. Poland has a chance to become an intermediary nation between the EU and Turkey and to be involved in the creation of a new type of relationship between Turkey and the EU. Keywords: Turkey, Poland, relations, bilateral, history of Polish-Turkish relations, the 600th anniversary in establishment of diplomatic relations, international cooperation. JEL Classification: N4, N44, N45, N94, N95. Introduction 2014 marked the 600th anniversary of the establishment of Polish and Turk- ish mutual diplomatic relations. The centuries following 1414 saw decades of close relations between the nations interrupted by sporadic warfare, leading up to a new level of cooperation in the 18th century. One common threat throughout, uniting the interests of the Ottoman Empire and the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, was a shared concern of Russian imperialism.
