Publishing activity and publications of the Michal Kachkovsky Society in the years 1875–1885: a general approach
Abstract
W niniejszym tekście charakteryzuję skrótowo działalność wydawniczą
oraz publikacje (książki niewielkich rozmiarów i objętości, publikowane z comiesięczną
częstotliwością) ukraińskiego Towarzystwa im. Michajła Kaczkowskiego
w okresie pierwszych 10 lat jego funkcjonowania. Było to stowarzyszenie rusofilskie,
działało w Galicji Wschodniej i realizowało zadania oświatowe na rzecz miejscowych
Ukraińców (Rusinów), zarówno ze środowisk miejskich, jak i wiejskich. Główną formę
wykonawczą stanowiło wydawanie i rozpowszechnianie broszur o nastawieniu
popularyzatorskim. Autorami byli przeważnie amatorzy, ale tematyka była rozległa.
Wkraczała w różne obszary wiedzy – w ujęciu popularnym i z zachętą do czytania.
W początkach lat 80. XIX wieku zaostrzyła się na tych obszarach walka polityczna.
Władze regionalne zaczęły silniej przeciwdziałać przedsięwzięciom rusofilskim, co
miało wpływ również na stosowne wyprofilowanie edytorskiej działalności Towarzystwa.
Znaczenie miał także wzrost środowiskowej aktywności społecznej oraz istotne
powiększenie się publiczności czytającej. Nie bez wpływu pozostawała też oferta
konkurencyjna ze strony innych organizacji oświatowych – ukraińskich oraz polskich.
The present article briefly discusses the publishing activity and publications (small size books published on a regular monthly basis) of the Ukrainian Michal Kachkovsky Society within the first ten years of its existence. The society, explicitly engaged in the Ukrainian national interests and Russophile position, was operating in Eastern Galicia (Eastern Poland) and was engaged in educational work and supportive activities in the interest of the local Ukrainians (Ruthenians) from both city and rural environments. The main executive form of the society was to publish and promulgate popular brochures widely in accordance with the pursued agenda by the society. The authors of the brochures were mostly amateurs, thought the subjects raised were many and varied. The subjects included a number of different areas of knowledge, popularised subject themes and encouraged further reading. At the beginning of the 1880s, domestic political struggle became inextricably connected with the political friction in the region. Regional authorities started to oppose more and more strongly any pro-Russian undertakings, which, accordingly, had its impact on the profile of the editorial activity of the Society. Yet another important factor enhancing the effects of the change in the attitude was the increase in the social activity of the population and the following significant increase in the number of readers. In addition, the offer proposed from other competitive educational organisations, both Polish and Ukrainian, had its own share in the resulting situation.
