Ruch konserwatywny wobec kwestii ukraińskiej w końcowym okresie rządów namiestnika Andrzeja hr. Potockiego (1906–1908)

The article presents the attitude of the conservative movement in Galicia to the Ukrainian question towards the end of Governor Andrzej Potocki’s tenure. It was at that time that the Polish-Ukrainian conflict in Galicia entered a new stage. On the one hand, Ukrainian politicians demanded that the law governing the elections to the Council of State be changed, and on the other, there was no unity in this matter among the conservatives ruling the country. Whereas the Kraków conservatives were in favour of an agreement, their counterparts from East Galicia strove to prevent any concessions to the Ukrainian side being made. According to the present author, all this not only contributed to a worsening of the mutual relations, but also led to the killing of Governor Andrzej Count Potocki. Translated by Anna Kijak
