<p>„Absolutism” versus „Polonism”<br />Bismarck, Pan-slavism and January Uprising</p><p><br />The aim of this article is to analyze attitude of the Prussian Prime-Minister – considered as the<br />Architect of German Unification – Otto von Bismarck – towards the phenomenon of social rebellion,<br />which in Polish history became known as the January Uprising. The intention of the Author is not<br />to focus on issues related with wide-ranging diplomatic action of the prospective “Iron Chancellor”,<br />which was crowned with Alsvenlabena Convention. Bismarck was in the limelight not like as well-<br />-known „real politician”, but as a political thinker whom he also was. Author analyzes a highly specific<br />conceptual nomenclature of Bismarck, and his attitude towards the Poles, Russians, Pan-Slavism and<br />autocracy. Introduction to the subject is an overview of the evaluations of the insurrection, which<br />was permanently established in Polish intellectual environments, including its traditional divisions<br />between the right wing and the left wing.</p>
