NIEPOSŁUSZEŃSTWO OBYWATELSKIE W STRATEGII POLITYCZNEJ NARODOWEJ DEMOKRACJI 1893–1939
THE IDEA OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE IN THE 1893–1939 POLITICAL STRATEGY OF NARODOWA DEMOKRACJA

Summary/Abstract: Narodowa Demokracja proclaimed its programme to resign from violence as a military activity and manifested its reluctance to insurrectionary techniques of political fighting. It postponed the decision to begin a national uprising, which was supported by a number of factors. Narodowa Demokracja were willing to benefit from the impact made by social authority figures like the Church, the school, and the press. The rules they set out condemned any political loyalty to the occupants. They encouraged passive resistance against Russification or Germanisation and engagement in legal political activities. Narodowa Demokracja focused on how to organise effectively education and upbringing with the use of available means to educate the Polish nation. The experience of the partitions was disregarded when Sanacja, a Polish coalition political movement, was in power. As a result, a wide range of nonviolent resistance methods was adopted, including political and economic boycott.
