Abstract
In autumn 1904 the Interior Minister P. D. Svyatopolk-Mirsky proclaimed “the epoch of trust to social forces” and the Polish intellectuals, who adopted a conciliatory attitude, began to hope that the government would change its discriminatory policy towards the Polish lands. These hopes were manifested in a number of appeals to the Minister. The article examines the basic provisions of the suggested new model of interaction between the imperial centre and the Polish periphery. The analysis of these letters helps to reconsider the conception of an unambiguously antagonistic attitude of the Polish elite towards the imperial centre.
