The goal of the article is to present the attitude of the editors of “Dziennik Miński” towards the Polish cause; the daily was published in 1917-1918, after toppling the tsar in Russia. This was an extremely significant time because the newspaper (one of important places where Poles exchanged opinions in the Russian empire) presented issues of reconstructing the Polish state and its future political system.
In this article, the author makes an attempt at presenting articles selected by him from Polish newspapers published in Russia during World War I and the responses and interpretations of the Act of 5th November of the relevant journalists and politicians, especially those with democratic as well as national-democratic affiliations. The author made an informed choice of the texts published in the press as the fundamental source used to discuss the issue in question. The author is certain that to a large extent, these publications reflect the opinions of the Polish political circles as well as the press analyses of the international consequences of the Act issued by the two emperors to the Polish cause.
