In the recent years there is increasing number of people interested in veganism. Th is is also a visible trend in the Czech Republic (and other EU countries) where veganism is lifestyle associated mainly with “generation Z”. Especially young people who were born aft er the fall of Communism and enjoyed free access to information tend to be more perceptive to the failures capitalism and globalisation including pollution, environmental degradation, production unsustainability, animal exploitation and suff ering used and treated as an agricultural commodity. Th is critical approach is refl ected in the lifestyle of increasing number of young Czechs with many implications including family relations, ecological and animal-focusing behaviour or political preferences. Th is article’s main aim is to provide sociological and political characterisation of vegans in the Czech Republic and to answer primary research question: who are Czech vegans? Th is article serves as certain corrective to the image of vegans and provides unique information about the segment. Research is based on an online survey conducted among 1,167 Czech vegans and 1,128 Czech vegetarians.

The vegetarian movement which emerged in Poland in the second half of the 19th century was informal undertaking at first, while its leaders championed original conceptions of their own. Unlike advocates of protecting animals from cruel treatment, who established the Society for the Protection of Animals in the 1860s-1870s, vegetarians functioned without a registered association until 1904. Their ideas were an eclectic mix: the essential idea of a vegetarian diet was combined with many other conceptions and postulations. Konstanty Moes-Oskragiełło connected vegetarianism with the requirement to wear woollen clothes (though he himself also supported naturism) and certain natural treatments. Józef Drzewiecki added homeopathy as well as natural medicine. Rajmund Janicki advocated an ascetic lifestyle, eschewing any substances and German-style attire. Rev. Wincent Pix, as a vegetarian, was a patron of campaigns against vaccinations. The feature which united these diverse elements the most was their explicitly anthropocentric nature: the ultimate goal was the wellness and rejuvenation of people and their return to a life lived in accordance with Nature. From their standpoint, the health of the humankind and its spiritual well-being were the prevailing concern, whereas comparatively little attention was devoted to the welfare of animals.

The article presents an analysis of the ideas and platforms developed by the first Polish vegetarians in the latter half of the 19th and in the early 20th century. The views of the following authors are considered: Konstanty Moes-Oskragiełło, Józef Drzewiecki, Janisław Jastrzębowski and Rajmund Jankowski. I draw attention to three basic features: anthropocentrism, eclecticism and a somewhat informal culture.
