W kręgu rodziny, opozycji i władzy. Kariera polityczna Augustyna Gorzeńskiego w latach 1764–1793
In the circle of family, opposition and power. The political career of Augustyn Gorziński in the years 1764-1793

Summary/Abstract: One of the major challenges faced by king Stanisław August in 1764–1793 was establishing his own political backing. According to some historians, during his tumultuous reign he managed to create and implement a new, informal model of public career. The ar-ticle is based on conclusions drawn from analysed source material and confirms the scheme using the example of General Augustyn Gorzeński’s political career. He was Poznań Cham-berlain and one of the most trusted royal advisors at the decline of the Polish Republic.
