Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article analyses the Polish, Russian, and Jewish youth self-education circles active in Vilnius in the 1870s, and their connections with the nihilist and narodnik movements operating in the Russian Empire. The main focus is on the problem of reconciling the ideologies of socialism and nationalism that arose among members of these circles, as well as on their reflections concerning the overcoming of national conflicts and the modernisation of local society. During the period under consideration, several parameters of ideological compatibility can be discerned, depending on: (a) the degree of national homogeneity within a given self-education circle; (b) the greater or lesser, collective or individual, historical memory of the North-Western Region; and (c) the positive or negative experiences of the sociopolitical and cultural environment, and of interethnic relations. In addition, one of the most important elements uniting all youth circles was the generational conflict – that is, the sociocultural rebellion against the patriarchal traditionalism of the elders and the mental constructs that preserved a serfdom-era worldview.
