The documents of political investigation of the Tsardom of Moscow / Russian Empire are valuable sources for the reconstruction of public consciousness of the inhabitants of the Hetmanate of the 18th century. They contain materials of the investigation into the so-called ‘words and deeds’, which concerned insults of majesty are mostly obscene remarks against monarchs. All these statements are extremely interesting in the context of everyday, informal, non-sacred perception of power, evidence of the awareness of ordinary residents of Ukrainian autonomy in political events, phenomena, private life of the court. In addition, they clearly show a kind of insinuation of power, its division into ‘yours’ – who the power of the emperor is, the metropolis, and ‘our’ – that the hetman and autonomous institutions are. This division clearly shows the awareness of the collective ‘we’, that is one of the markers of constructing one’s own identity.

The article is a continuation of the author’s research, carried out for a few years now, into the criminal law doctrine in Poland in the late 18th century. Drawing on his meticulous study of the sources and competent analysis of the literature on the subject, the author tries to fill the existing gap in the study of criminal law of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth towards the end of its existence as a sovereign state. In this particular case the author explores criminal law proposals of the Great Sejm legislators concerning the regulation of political crimes in the criminal code.

In the 20th century, the perception and quality of political crimes underwent significant changes, which led to the creation of constitutional law. Act III of 1921 was the first piece of legislation that substantially tightened the scope of crime against the state, but because of precisely defined offences and related judicial practice, it could be avoided that deeds, which essentially fall within the scope of the exercise of fundamental rights, could fall under the Act. The following significant criminal law, which strengthened existing provisions to an extent that provided a good basis for the establishment of a later Communist dictatorship, was brought about by the persistence of Soviet presence following the World War II.
