Abstract

In March 1892, the Polish-German nobleman Bogdan Graf von Hutten-Czapski travelled to the Russian partition on behalf of the Prussian General Staff and summarised his impressions in a detailed memorandum. His findings have been quoted several times in historical research, but the full passage on Polish issues has not yet been published. This article attempts to fill this gap by revealing the most interesting fragments from Hutten-Czapski’s memorandum and placing them in their historical context. Additionally, the text presents not only the author’s views on the „Polish question”, but also addresses German military policy towards the Russian Empire in the early 1890s and the internal political situation in the Russian partition.
