Środowisko "Przeglądu Tygodniowego" wobec ideologicznego i militarnego udziału Rosji w konflikcie bałkańskim (1875-1878)

The paper presents the characteristics, in form of an exploration, of reaction of the Warsaw liberal-progressive camp, expressed by its most outstanding representatives, on the events of the conflict betweon Serbia, Turkey and Russia in 1870s, as well as the ideological aspect in the Polish and Russian literature. In particular, the paper shows the firm but controversial "reply" to the expectations and postulates of the Kussian govermneut, public opinion and literature, connected with the involvement in the ccofliet in the Balcans on the side of the Southern Slavs. The opinions were formulated in the circles of progressive radicals, gathered round the leading organ of "the young" - "Przegląd Tygodniowy" - represented prominently by its ideological leader Alexander Świętochowski. In the course of time the primary approval gave way to criticism of imperialistic nationalism hidden behind the contemporary Pan-Slavistic ideas supported by the czarism regime. The paper is a supplement to the studies presenting the conflict from the Russian point of view and discloses the so far neglected element - the Polish point of view.
