„Ruch ten nie ma szans powodzenia”. Traugutt Franciszka Ziejki
The article is a commemoration of the 160th death anniversary of the head of the National Government, Romuald Traugutt (August 5, 1864). Although four dramas devoted to Traugutt were written before the war (in the years 1913–1933), they are surpassed in every aspect by the script of a television play entitled Traugutt, a work of great merit for Cracow and the Polish humanities by Prof. Franciszek Ziejka (recorded in May 1990 by the Polish Television Centre in Cracow as part of the series The Theatre of Fact). The title role was played by actor Jerzy Radziwiłowicz as he was accompanied by various artists from Cracow’s theatres (the Helena Modrzejewska Old Theatre and the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre). As Professor Ziejka deposited the text of Traugutt at the Jagiellonian Library with a clause of inaccessibility, I undertook efforts to convince the descendants of the author to make it available for research purposes. This attempt was successful, hence this article is a presentation of this play in the context of historical research on the January Uprising
Romuald Traugutt’s Cup
The author describes an object unknown in source literature – a souvenir which may have belonged to Romuald Traugutt, the dictator of the 1863 insurrection, who is still surrounded by a living cult. It is a silver cup with the engraved initials “R.T.”, made by a goldsmith from Moscow in 1860. According to family tradition written down by Irena Sosnowska, nee Szarecka, Romuald Traugutt exchanged glasses with Franciszek Jundziłło, commander of the neighbouring district, after the victorious battle of Horki (currently in Belarus). In 1865, Jundziłło’s widow is said to have given the souvenir to Stanisław Szarecki, her godson, who was a son of one of her husband’s comrades-in arm. The cup was inherited by Stanisław’s daughter, Irena Sosnowska, who handed it down to the author of the text, Stanisław Szarecki’s great-grandson. The author investigates the consist- ency of the family tale with the facts, and concludes that it is highly probably true. The detachments of Traugutt and Jundziłł, both former officers of the tsar’s army, fought near each other, in the area in which the Szarecki family’s manor – Strzałów (currently in Belarus) – was located
