Summary/Abstract: The author describes and analyzes the formation of the two mass political blocs in Polish environments – socialist and nationalist ones at the turn of the 20th century. Having been created as secret structures, both movements were primarily based on secular ideologies. Their main goal was the fight for independence. However, they began to differ in methods and means concerning its achievement over time. The socialists combined the struggle for independence with social revolution, not excluding even armed struggle; the nationalists on the contrary wanted to regain the independence by means of compromise, evolvement, not excluding national uprisings. In time, the amicable attitude of the nationalists was backed by the Polish Church, which was thereby fulfilling the recommendations and expectations of the Holy See.
