Książka polska w Mińsku na przełomie XIX–XX stulecia
Polish books in Minsk in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries

Summary/Abstract: The article presents access to Polish books in Minks. The author presents activities related to editing, book-selling and establishing libraries by the local Poles in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. Polish publishing activities were instigated sporadically in Minsk before 1917. However, the city’s Polish inhabitants were nor denied access to Polish literature. They could purchase Polish books in Makowski’s bookshop or resort to legal as well as clandestine Polish libraries and reading rooms managed by various Polish organizations. It is clear that access to Polish books contributed to attempts, albeit aborted, at printing them in Minsk, e.g. by Włodzimierz Dworzaczek.
