Poland and Muscovy. Memoirs of xxx* Begun in 186... (translated by Halina Najder)

Summary/Abstract: Following the great national cataclysm, some Poles who saved their property and titles called Alexander I ‘the benefactor, renovator and reviver’ of Poland – names lisped out by renegades; Tsar Nicholas, after the 1831 Revolution, fomented and provoked by the tsar’s ‘charity’, built his comment in stone and dug it fi rmly into the ground – a heap of boulders, bristling with guns and crawling with the vermin of thugs and torturers. This ‘charity’, bearing the name of our Renovator and Reviver, Tsar Alexander I, presents a constant threat of extinction to the Polish capital and inside its walls throttles one generation of Polish patriots after another.
