Summary/Abstract: The memories of Ignacy Dzierżyński may be interesting to every person willing to broaden their knowledge of the history of learning in the interwar period. Ignacy Dzierżyński (1879–1953) was a teacher. In independent Poland he worked i.a. for the Ministry of Religion and Public Education as well as for the Department of Education, where he was employed as a school inspector. This brief fragment is part of a bigger whole, i.e. of a volume consisting of a dozen or so chapters corresponding to the course of life of their author. It covers the period from the beginning of his education in secondary school to the years of his university studies in Moscow. It also gives a glimpse of the atmosphere of that city, together with a portrayal of both the Russian as well as the Polish societies at the turn of the nineteenth century, just before the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese war and the Revolution of 1905.
