Abstract
Prince Vladimir Meshchersky (1839-1914), the grandson ofNicholas Karamzin, was one of the best-known people of the second half of the 19th century. He held a firm position among the group of conservatives who considered Poles as traitors of Slavs. After the death of Nicholas I, both in Russia and in Poland, the situation was verging on revolution. In St. Petersburg, Zygmunt Sierakowski, an acquaintance of Józefat Ohryzko from Karamzin family, played a significant role in uniting Polish people. Meshchersky mentions that Ogryzko supported the revolutionary aspirations of Russians and Poles. Poles were also supported by Alexander Herzen. In My Memories Herzen was presented in a bad light. The prince criticized the policy of St. Petersburg towards the Polish nation. For him, it was the main cause of the outbreak of the Polish revolt. The author of My Memories explains the context of the arrival of Konstanty Nikolaevich in Warsaw. Meshchersky believed that Ukrainians, Belarusians, Lithuanians were part of the Great Russia. Influenced by the revolutionary mood of society and fear of war with Europe, the Tsar appointed Hichal Muravyov as the Governor-General of Vilnius. Meshchersky was a fierce supporter of Muravyov and his dictatorship.
