The purpose of the paper is to offer some insight into Cyprian Norvid’s vision of propaganda which emerged out of his criticism of the propagandistic campaign pursued by the authorities of the January uprising of 1863. Reviving the original use of the concept of propaganda which was meant to convey the meaning of “spreading the Christian religion” or “preaching the gospel,” Norvid put forth the idea of propaganda regarded as a vehicle of salvation. The poet relied on this eschatological perspective for his judgment of the January uprising and it is this religious context that accounts for the evolution of his political views during the Uprising. He began with an enthusiasm for the Uprising thought of as the kind of epiphany (to be understood here as the action that remained in accordance with God’s will) and ended disappointed, judging the struggle for independence as bereft of its “originality,” that is to say, its entrenchment in God’s will. One is thus justified in saying that his approach to propaganda reveals a religious core of his thought.

The paper presented here is a follow-up to the discussion of Cyprian Norvid’s vision of propaganda. This vision was supplemented with a scenario of propagandistic action. The scenario embraced as one of its key parts an original concept of Russia. The latter also reveals the eschatological framework in which the poet’s thought was embedded. If, as he wanted, propaganda was to serve as a vehicle of salvation, then it was Russia that was to be saved. Unlike the insurrectionist propaganda which was unstinting in its efforts to promulgate a demonic image of Russia accused of posing a threat to Order and Harmony in the world, the poet offered the image of such a Russia that “does not know what she does.” “Does not now” as the tsarist despotism was not the embodiment of Satan’s power, but was simply born in the absence of real power, it was the lack of real power. Norvid’s eschatological vision shows that the way in which Poles thought about Russia betrayed dependence on thought structures usually met with in metaphysical speculations about evil.
