Nihil Novi #3
The Kos’ciuszko Chair of Polish Studies Miller Center of Public Affairs University of Virginia Charlottesville, Virginia Bulletin Number Three Fall 2003 On the Cover: The symbol of the KoÊciuszko Squadron was designed by Lt. Elliot Chess, one of a group of Americans who helped the fledgling Polish air force defend its skies from Bolshevik invaders in 1919 and 1920. Inspired by the example of Tadeusz KoÊciuszko, who had fought for American independence, the American volunteers named their unit after the Polish and American hero. The logo shows thirteen stars and stripes for the original Thirteen Colonies, over which is KoÊciuszko’s four-cornered cap and two crossed scythes, symbolizing the peasant volunteers who, led by KoÊciuszko, fought for Polish freedom in 1794. After the Polish-Bolshevik war ended with Poland’s victory, the symbol was adopted by the Polish 111th KoÊciuszko Squadron. In September 1939, this squadron was among the first to defend Warsaw against Nazi bombers. Following the Polish defeat, the squadron was reformed in Britain in 1940 as Royal Air Force’s 303rd KoÊciuszko. This Polish unit became the highest scoring RAF squadron in the Battle of Britain, often defending London itself from Nazi raiders. The 303rd bore this logo throughout the war, becoming one of the most famous and successful squadrons in the Second World War. The title of our bulletin, Nihil Novi, invokes Poland’s ancient constitution of 1505. It declared that there would be “nothing new about us without our consent.” In essence, it drew on the popular sentiment that its American version expressed as “no taxation without representation.” The Nihil Novi constitution guar- anteed that “nothing new” would be enacted in the country without the consent of the Parliament (Sejm). -

Birkenmajetr Institute of History of Science, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] 14 This paper is focused primarily on the departure from the “free study” in university learning in Poland after it regained its independence in 1918. The idea of the “free study” had been strongly cherished by professors and staff of the Philosophy Department of Warsaw University even though the majority of students (including the students of mathematics and physics) were not interested in pursuing an academic career. The concept of free study left to the students the decision about the choice of subjects they wished to study and about the plan of their work. -

Materiały Marcelego Handelsmana Ш Archiirum Polskiej Akademii Nauk
Materiały Marcelego Handelsmana ш Archiirum Polskiej Akademii Nauk opracowała Hanna Dymnieka pod kierunkiem Zygmunta Kolainkowskiego WSTĘP Znajdująca się w Archiwum Polskiej Akademii Nauk spuścizna po Prof. Marcelim Handelsmanie otrzymała nazwę „Materiały Marcelego Handelsmana“. Daty krańcowe tej spuścizny obejmują lata 1909—1944. W okresie wojny i okupacji znajdowała się ona w rozproszeniu. Gdy Profesor zmuszony był opuścić swój dom i ukrywać się pod obcym na zwiskiem, część materiałów razem z księgozbiorem umieścił w Bibliotece Narodowej, a część oddał na przechowanie różnym znajomym. Nie wszystko przetrwało wojnę. Zginęły rękopisy prac „Historia pozytywiz mu“ i „Odwieczna polityka Anglii“ oraz zabrane przez gestapo wspom nienia o Ludwiku Widerszalu i początek podręcznika historii nowożytnej. Zniszczony został prawie całkowicie „Testament starego liberała“ napi sany w r. 1943, w którym Marceli Handelsman przedstawił swoje poglą dy polityczne i dał wskazówki na okres powojennyOcalał natomiast rękopis monografii o Czartoryskim, zakopany w ogrodzie willi w Mila nówku, gdzie mieszkał Profesor do r. 1944. Po wojnie p. Jadwiga Han- delsmanowa zgodnie z życzeniem Zmarłego przekazała do Instytutu Hi storycznego Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego jego bibliotekę i zdeponowała tamże większość materiałów rękopiśmiennych, przechowanych w Biblio tece Narodowej i u znajomych. W lipcu 1955 r. Archiwum PAN zwróciło się do p. Handelsmanowej wyrażając chęć nabycia spuścizny rękopiśmiennej po jej mężu i uzyskało jej zgodę. Zakup został dokonany w grudniu 1955 r. Instytut Historyczny UW przekazał do Archiwum przechowywane u siebie materiały Prof. Handelsmana na jesieni 1955 r. (7 paczek). W końcu stycznia 1956 r. spuścizna została powiększona dzięki materiałom przekazanym przez Prof. A. Gieysztora (2 paczki). Resztę materiałów rozproszonych w czasie wojny p. Handelsmanowa zebrała na początku r. -

Acta Poloniae Historica 63 - 64, 1991 PL ISSN 0001 - 6829 Jan Molenda THE FORMATION OF NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE POLISH PEASANTS AND THE PART THEY PLAYED IN THE REGAINING OF INDEPENDENCE BY POLAND The regaining of independence by Poland in 1918 has been since then hotly discussed, though the discussions are becoming less sharp now that the generations which fought for it and could argue about their respective merits are going off. This does not mean that the importance of those events is less appreciated at present than it used to be. Just the opposite, looking back seventy years we increasingly realize that the revival of Poland had for many spheres of national life a significance that went far beyond 1918 and even beyond the prewar Poland. Indeed the recovery of statehood by this country must be regarded as one of the most far-reaching events not only in the 20th century but in Poland’s whole history. The fact that since the mid-19th century many other nations have won independence makes us seek far-reaching and universal reasons for this phenomenon which was spread over a long time. It had to do first of all with the shaping up of modern nations and with the growth of national consciousness, until then restrict ed to only some circles but now being the feature of many strata of society. “TO WIN THE SOUL OF THE POLISH PEOPLE FOR POLAND” —BEING THE MAIN PROBLEM IN THE PERIOD AFTER PARTITIONS The national consciousness of Polish society did not appear evenly in all its members. -

Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №132 March 2019 The monument to the Royal Martyrs at the St. Seraphim Cathedral in Vyatka "For the first time in 100 years, a descendant of the Romanovs appeared in Vyatka" From 17 to 20 of March the great-great-grandson of Alexander III, the great-grandson of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna - the sister of Emperor Nicholas II - Paul E. Kulikovsky and his wife Ludmila visited Vyatka. They were invited by the regional public organization "Revival of Vyatka". Paul E. Kulikovsky - "Kirov, or Vyatka as we prefer to call the city, was one of the places on our "to-visit-list", as we want to visit all the places in Russia directly related to the Romanovs, and especially those in which the Romanovs were in exile after the revolution. That is why first of all were visited Romanov related locations and city landmarks. But for the local citizens the main event was a presentation of the book of memoirs of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna “25 Chapters of my life”, followed by a press- conference. City history The city is actually called Kirov - in honour of one of the Stalin co- workers – Sergei Kirov killed in 1934 – but many citizens still use the historical name Vyatka. It was established in 1174. From 1457 to 1780 it was called Khlynov, from 1780 to 1934 Vyatka, and now Kirov. It is the administrative centre of the Kirov region and located on the Vyatka River, 896 km northeast of Moscow. Population is about 507,155 (2018). -

MISCELLANEA HISTORICO-IURIDICA TOM XVII, z. 1 ROK 2018 Janusz Danieluk Archiwum Państwowe w Białymstoku e-mail: [email protected] ORCID 0000-0002-7659-6942 DOI: 10.15290/mhi.2018.17.01.16 Funkcjonowanie notariatu w Cesarstwie Rosyjskim na przykładzie akt zespołu Starszego Notariusza Sądu Okręgowego w Grodnie Abstrakt Artykuł porusza problematykę związaną ze zmianami systemu notarialnego w Cesarstwie Rosyjskim w II połowie XIX w. Głównym przedmiotem badania była tzw. ustawa notarialna z 1866 r. oraz jej praktyczne zastosowanie przy sporządza- niu umów notarialnych. Podstawową bazą źródłową jest zespół archiwalny: Starszy Notariusz Sądu Okręgowego w Grodnie, przechowywany w zasobie Archiwum Państwowego w Białymstoku. Autor był zainteresowany budową różnego rodzaju aktów notarialnych oraz zasadami ich zatwierdzania i wprowadzania w życie. Do najważniejszych hipotez badawczych można zaliczyć następujące pytania: W ja- kim stopniu ówczesny system notarialny różnił się od obowiązującego wcześniej (sprzed reformy)? Jakie były różnice pomiędzy prawem notarialnym obowiązującym w Królestwie Polskim a notariatem w zachodnich guberniach Cesarstwa? Z jakich elementów składała się struktura organizacyjna notariatu? Jakie były prawa i obo- wiązki starszych i „zwykłych” notariuszy? Ponadto, udało się zidentyfikować no- tariuszy, którzy prowadzili kancelarie na obszarze byłego obwodu białostockiego. Wszystkie osoby sprawujące urząd starszego notariusza były narodowości rosyjskiej, wyznania prawosławnego. Niektórzy z nich swoją lojalność wobec władzy carskiej okazali aktywnym uczestnictwem w tłumieniu powstania styczniowego. Abstract The functioning of the notary in the Russian Empire by the example of archival records: Senior Notary of the District Court in Grodno The article addresses the changes that occurred in the notarial system of the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century. -
Marceli Handelsman a Note on Biography Marceli Handelsman Was Born in 1882, in a Polish Jewish Family. in 1900, He Graduated
Marceli Handelsman A note on biography Marceli Handelsman was born in 1882, in a Polish Jewish family. In 1900, he graduated summa cum laude from the 5th Secondary School for Boys. Between 1900 and 1904 he studied at the Faculty of Law of the Imperial University of Warsaw and was awarded a golden medal for his master’s thesis. He most likely chose law for pragmatic reasons. Handelsman was keen on history already then, but law was supposed to guarantee him a profession and work that was extremely hard to find in the times of intensive Russification. Already while a law student, Handelsman attended lectures in History, which helped him pursue his interests. He gained the knowledge that he could not acquire at university by reading, inquisitiveness, and hard work. After graduation, he pursued his career in law at his uncle Marek Kuratow’s law firm. Ultimately, he chose scientific work in history. A month later, he left to study in Berlin, where he attended lectures in History, Literature, Philosophy and Social Anthropology. As revolutionary fighting in Poland was becoming increasingly fierce in 1905, Handelsman decided to return to his homeland to join in the anti-tsar efforts. During his visit to Poland he delivered lectures i.a. in General History. His stay in Poland did not last long. Persuaded by his friends, Handelsman returned to Berlin to continue his studies, yet by no means did he give up his political activity. Apart from lecturing, he educated the Polish workers in the Polish Socialist Party [PPS]. He was active in party publications and for a few months, he was the editor of Gazeta Chłopska [The Peasants’ Gazette]. -

PRZEGLĄD HUMANISTYCZNY 4, 2018 Rachel Feldhay Brenner (University of Wisconsin-Madison) THE JEWS AND THE MESSIANIC ETHOS OF THE SECOND POLISH REPUBLIC. STANISŁAW REMBEK’S INTERWAR LITERARY WRITINGS Despite the unequivocally foreboding political developments, the faith in the exceptionality of the Polish nation and the invincibility of the miraculously reconstituted sovereign Poland persisted until the very outbreak of World War II. From October 1938 to January 1939, the literary supplement of the daily Polska Zbrojna [Armed Poland] published responses of notable writers to a survey on the topic “Literatura a żołnierz” [Literature and the Soldier]. Stanisław Rembek (1901–1985), a well-known popular writer, and a veteran of the 1920 Polish-Bolshevik War argued: Polish society is military in the best sense of the word. Every Pole feels, first and foremost, that he is a soldier. [...] As represented by our Leader, our army plays a determining role in all aspects of our political, social, economic, and intellectual life. [...] Yet nobody can claim that the army has been politicized. Our officers are modest, well behaved, tactful, and knowledgeable. [...] Our soldiers are enthusiastic to serve and are ready for every sacrifice. Our reservists are dedicated to their units and would cheerfully answer every call. Should such a need arise, the whole nation will become a reliable, powerful, and forbidding instrument in the Leader’s hands. Yet we are not aggressive toward our neighbors, and we do not cultivate any ideological, ethnic, or racist hatred. [...] In this sense, we can serve as an example to other nations, as we have many times in history. -

Review of Institute of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania ISSN online 2719-9770 2021, Vol. 1, pp. 45–54 DOI 10.24426/rigdl.v1i0.215 Oskar Kanecki Pomeranian Academy in Słupsk, Poland [email protected] ORCID 0000-0001-9025-2970 The Third Statute of Lithuania in the Russian Empire until 1840 Abstract The partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was not equal with the abolition of the previous legal order in its former territories. The Third Lithuanian Statute maintained its binding force for the longest time. It was not until 1831 that its provisions were repealed in the Belarusian governorates (Mogilev and Vitebsk). In the rest of western provinces it remained in force until 1840. It superseded the Second Lithuanian Statute on the territory of the left-bank Ukraine (Little Russia). However, even the introduction of Russian law in these areas in 1843 did not mean the end of the impact of the 1588 codification regulations. They were influencing the practice even in the first half of the 20th century. Such a long period of validity of the Third Lithuanian Statute was the result of the strong attachment of the Lithuanian nobility to their native law and the lack of Russian codification which would be capable to replace it. Keywords: Third Lithuanian Statute, Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Russian Empire, ukases, governorates. The partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1772–1795) initiated the process of abolishing the legal system existing in its former areas. The countries which had annexed Polish territories were taking actions aimed at removing Polish and Lithuanian laws and replacing them with their own regulations at different speed. -
