Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to reconstruct the phenomenon of the involvement of Polish youth in the political life of the Congress Kingdom in 1905–1918 based on reports from the period. Among their authors are members of the young generation of that time, representing various political currents, as well as mature politicians, publicists, and educational and social activists. These accounts are not only a source of information on the motives behind the political choices and actions of young Poles in the early twentieth century, the role and significance of this generation in the political life of the Polish Kingdom but also on the place that youth occupied within the reflections of representatives of older generations.
