MEMORIAŁ KSIĘCIA KSAWEREGO DRUCKIEGO‑LUBECKIEGO W SPRAWIE POTRZEB GUBERNI ZACHODNICH Z 1811 ROKU

Abstract

In 1810–1811 two delegations of the Lithuanian nobility visited St. Petersburg in an attempt to draw attention of the Russian authorities to the problems of the West Guberniyas. One of them was headed by Duke Xavier Drucki-Lubecki. His Memorandum, probably intended for Michail M. Speranski, provides insight into the main ills of the Polish Guberniyas. Lubecki outlined the principal directions of the desired reforms of the economic situation, the political system of the guberniyas, as well as certain institutions of Polish-Lithuanian law.
