  • Evolution of the Belarusian National Movement in The
    EVOLUTION OF THE BELARUSIAN NATIONAL MOVEMENT IN THE PAGES OF PERIODICALS (1914-1917) By Aliaksandr Bystryk Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Advisor: Professor Maria Kovacs Secondary advisor: Professor Alexei Miller CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2013 Abstract Belarusian national movement is usually characterised by its relative weakness delayed emergence and development. Being the weakest movement in the region, before the WWI, the activists of this movement mostly engaged in cultural and educational activities. However at the end of First World War Belarusian national elite actively engaged in political struggles happening in the territories of Western frontier of the Russian empire. Thus the aim of the thesis is to explain how the events and processes caused by WWI influenced the national movement. In order to accomplish this goal this thesis provides discourse and content analysis of three editions published by the Belarusian national activists: Nasha Niva (Our Field), Biełarus (The Belarusian) and Homan (The Clamour). The main findings of this paper suggest that the anticipation of dramatic social and political changes brought by the war urged national elite to foster national mobilisation through development of various organisations and structures directed to improve social cohesion within Belarusian population. Another important effect of the war was that a part of Belarusian national elite formulated certain ideas and narratives influenced by conditions of Ober-Ost which later became an integral part of Belarusian national ideology.

  • Upbringing of Girls As Reflected in the Activities and Views of Blessed Marcelina Darowska
    Marcelina Knop DOI: 10.14746/bhw.2018.38.33 Department of Didactic Method and History of Parenting University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn Upbringing of Girls as Reflected in the Activities and Views of Blessed Marcelina Darowska Abstract The article presents the life and educational activities of Blessed Marcelina Darowska, the co-found­ er of the Convent of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and her views on up­ bringing of young women. Mother Marcelina’s perception of education of girls in the 19th century seemed modern and beyond her time. In her opinion, there was a need of putting a stop to produc­ ing “parlour dolls” and provide young women with practical education. For the betterment of the country, she set up schools in Jazłowiec, Jarosław, Niżniów and Nowy Sącz. The girls attending the schools were brought up according to the system developed by Marcelina Darowska, based on reli­ gious and patriotic values. The Convent of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary continues the work commenced by its founder; over time Mother Marcelina’s message remains val­ id and serves the subsequent generations of young Polish girls. Keywords: Marcelina Darowska, Convent of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Catholic schools, education of women in the nineteenth century 1. The life and educational work of Marcelina Darowska Marvelina Darowska née Kotowicz was both on the 16th1 of January 1827, as the fifth of seven children of Jan Kotowicz and Maximilia Jastrzębska.

At the end of 2012, a research team formed at the Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce was granted a project within the framework of the National Programme for the Development of Humanities by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Poland. The aim of the project is to identify, document, catalogue and look in detail at the memoirs and collections of letters written by Polish authors from the Taken Lands (in other words, Western Krai, the outskirts of the former Polish state, lands taken by the Russian Empire) at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The project provides an explanation of archival and library research in Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, France, England and Poland. The material of the publication involves the articles presented in the international scientific conference held in June 2016 in the framework of the national project “Memoirs and Letters of Polish Authors from the Taken Lands (Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine) in the Period 1795–1918”.

VII/1 2016: 112811 ANDRZEJ SZMYT University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn RUSSIAS EDUCATIONAL POLICY AIMED AT THE POLES AND THE POLISH TERRITORIES ANNEXED DURING THE REIGN OF TSAR ALEXANDER I 1 KEYWORDS: Russia, tsar Alexander I, the Russian partition of Poland, the history of education, the Vilnius Scientific District, Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski ABSTRACT: The beginning of the 19th century in Russia marks the establishment of the modern system of education, to much extent based on the standards set by the National Commission of Education. Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski , then a close associate of Alexander I, used the young tsars enthusiasm for reforming the country, including the educational system. The already implemented reforms encompassed also the territories of the Russian partition. The unique feature of the Vilnius Scientific District created at that time was the possibility of teaching in the Polish language in all types of schools. It was the school superintendent Prince A. J. Czartoryski who deserved credit for that due to his considerable influence upon the tsars policy towards the Poles. After the change in the position of the superintendent (1824) and the death of Alexander I (1825), the authorities policy on the Polish educational system became stricter, and after the fall of the November Uprising Polish educational institutions practically disappeared. The source base of the text is constituted by the archival materials stored in the State Historical Archives in Kiev and Vilnius as well as in the Library of The Vilnius University.

  • Imperiology and Religion.Indd
    9 IN SEARCH OF INTERNAL BALANCE: DEBATE ON CHANGES IN THE TERRITORIAL- ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE IN THE 1830S AND 1840S LEONID GORIZONTOV The study of empire has become extremely popular among aca- demics over the last couple of years. Currently, the upper level of the fi eld is being built through the comparative studies of empires. The ap- pearance of the neologism “imperiology” in the name of a conference held in Sapporo in October 2004 testifi es to the fact that, at least the conference organizers, approach the topic as constituting a distinctive area of investigations. This requires that the subject’s objective limits be carefully considered, especially facing the possibility that almost every aspect of life in an empire might be labeled “imperial.” Moreover, comparativists often fall victim to hasty generalizations when they base their analysis not on historical sources (which are used merely for illustration), but instead synthesize specialist literature into more or less apt models. In creating an “empire of regions” model of pre-revolutionary Russia, the goal is not to replace theories with empiri- cal material.1 The goal is to concentrate on building explanative models more straightforwardly from concrete historical research. With this in mind, this chapter is based on archival sources. Nonetheless, its topic is not of limited, local, or insignifi cant character. There were two attempts at reform in the fi rst half of the nineteenth century that could have been of crucial importance to the administrative structuring of Russia’s imperial territory. Though the reforms were not 1 Issues that arise in the comparative study of empires are presented in the following article, prepared on the basis of presentations made in October 2003: L.
