Z dziejów rosyjskiej emigracji w Polsce międzywojennej: Eugenia Weber-Chiriakowa
From the history of Russian emigration in interwar Poland: Yevgenia Veber-Khiryakova

Summary/Abstract: The paper described Yevgeniya Veber-Khiryakova’s views on Russian emigration based on her cooperation with the Warsaw newspaper “Za Svobodu!”. The context for the analysis became statements of other representatives of the Russian Diaspora in Warsaw and Paris. The analysis of journalistic writing and literary criticism have been performed, which led to the conclusion that she perceived emigration as a mission, with a special role attributed to literature. Veber-Khiryakova referred to the great traditions of Russian literature, which tried to combine aesthetic and ethical ideals, and to the idea of a writer — prophet. The texts of Veber-Khiryakova, which are part of the program of the newspaper “Za Svobodu!”, testify to her affiliation with radical diaspora circles, unfavorable to any compromises with Soviet Russia.
