About the fate of Olgierd Wilczyński based on his Siberian letters (1872-1873)

Eugeniusz Niebelski

Abstract

The text characterizes the fate and achievements of the participant of the 1863 uprising sent to exile to Siberia, Olgierd Wilczyński from Lithuania, who, after returning from exile, tried to pursue a scientific career and join the scientific circles of Polish historians. In St. Petersburg and Vilnius, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, he published brochures and texts, among others: on history and archeology - about the antiquities of Rus', Russia and Europe. In connection with his work in the field of genealogy, in 1911 he was also imprisoned in Vilnius and was tried for falsifying archival documents. In 1916 he was in St. Petersburg, but his further fate is unknown. His works, especially on the beginnings of Rus', are nowadays re-published in Russia, although his biography is not known.
