(title ion Polish - 'Nuta kozaka skocznego' i 'szloch duszy'. Wystepy ukrainskich zespolów teatralnych w Lublinie na przełomie XIX i XX wieku'). The article discusses the performances given by Ukrainian theatre troupes in Lublin in 1892-1911. The theatre, as one of the signs of the rebirth of Ukrainian language and culture in Congress Poland, had become entwined in Russification politics of the Tsarist regime, which made some of the Poles hostile toward performances of Ukrainians, which they viewed as supporting that politics. On the other hand, however, the musical and vocal qualities of the Ukrainian theatre, along with the peculiar, somewhat exotic, form and subject matter derived from the folk tradition, proved attractive for the Polish audiences. The town of Lublin, located near the Eastern border of Congress Poland, was often visited by these travelling troupes, including the company of one of the so-called coryphaei of Ukrainian theatre, Marko Kropyvnytsky that probably performed there in 1892. As only 0.5 per cent of Lublin's population at the time was of Ukrainian nationality, the performances must have been addressed to the Poles and Russians who lived there. The primary source of information about the performances of Ukrainian theatre companies and their reception are press articles published in Lublin newspapers: 'Gazeta Lubelska' and 'Ziemia Lubelska'.
