„Absolutyzm” versus „polonizm” Bismarck, panslawizm a powstanie styczniowe

Abstract

„Absolutism” versus „Polonism”Bismarck, Pan-slavism and January UprisingThe aim of this article is to analyze attitude of the Prussian Prime-Minister – considered as theArchitect of German Unification – Otto von Bismarck – towards the phenomenon of social rebellion,which in Polish history became known as the January Uprising. The intention of the Author is notto focus on issues related with wide-ranging diplomatic action of the prospective “Iron Chancellor”,which was crowned with Alsvenlabena Convention. Bismarck was in the limelight not like as well--known „real politician”, but as a political thinker whom he also was. Author analyzes a highly specificconceptual nomenclature of Bismarck, and his attitude towards the Poles, Russians, Pan-Slavism andautocracy. Introduction to the subject is an overview of the evaluations of the insurrection, whichwas permanently established in Polish intellectual environments, including its traditional divisionsbetween the right wing and the left wing.
