This article focuses on the uprising years 1863-1864, with particular emphasis on various form of Russian repression (incl. death sentences, confiscations, contributions, imprisonment, etc.). The newspaper also informed about repressions by the German-Prussian authorities against Polish patriots who were helping the uprising (searches, requisitions, arrest). The damage affected the editioral office itself, which was exposed the confiscation of newspaper’ numbers, the temporary closure of the newspaper and the imprisonment of the editors.
