One-Day Newspaper Commemorating the Erection of Adam Mickiewicz Monument

The one-day newspaper which commemorates one of numerous similar celebrations organised by Poles in the Polish Borderlands to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Adam Mickiewicz. Monuments to the poet, erected in the lands occupied by the partitioners, reflected the patriotic mood of the population and its longing for their lost homeland. The income from the sale of the newspaper was intended to “multiply the Mickiewicz Fund”. Today, this monument, located in the Lviv region of Ukraine, does not exist. It was first destroyed by the Ukrainians in 1918, to be then rebuilt by the local people after the disputed territories were reoccupied by the reborn Poland. For the second and final time it was annihilated by the Russians in 1944. Text in Polish.
