metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines ideological positions of Russian liberal constitutionalists with regard to
  the Polish question in the 1860s. The author comes to the conclusion that mutual misunderstanding
  between Russian and Polish political writers stemmed from different perceptions of
  the Polish issue. While the Polish side supposed that it was necessary to restore “historic Poland”
  within the boundaries of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth before its first partition
  in 1772, Russian liberals and radicals, to a certain extent, were ready to consider only the autonomy
  or independence of “ethnographic Poland” conceding the possibility of national referendum
  about the state affiliation of the disputed territories. The events in Russia and Poland
  determined changes in the views on acute problems of the Russian-Polish co-existence. The
  author exemplifies this statement by the evolution in political positions on the Polish question
  of a famous Russian émigré and constitutionalist P. V. Dolgorukov. When he edited the journal
  “Budushchnost” (“Future”) in 1860–1861, he advocated autonomy of “ethnographic Poland”,
  at the end of 1862 — the middle of 1863 he joined the supporters of independent “ethnographic
  Poland” and referendum on the state affiliation of contemporary Lithuania, Belorussia
  and Right-Bank Ukraine, and after the suppression of the Polish rebellion in 1863–1864, the
  émigré turned to his previous position. By this time, it had become evident that despite the
  disagreement between “the White” and “the Red” in the Polish national movement, politically
  active Poles were united in their understanding of one issue — “the Polish-Lithuanian
  Commonwealth from the sea to the sea”. However, this view was inadmissible for the Russian
  liberals and even revolutionaries, let alone conservatives. This maximalism delayed the return
  of Poland to the European political map not only as an independent state but also as a political
  autonomy modelled on Finland of the 19th century.
