Abstract

The article deals with the newspaper "Novoe Vremya" in the first years of its existence (1868-1871), when its editor-publisher Adam Honory Kirkor (1819-1886) set the tone. The subject of this article is the reputation of "Novoe Vremya" as an organ representing Polish interests in Russia. Discourse analysis method was used in the research. The basis of the source material are the yearbooks of the newspaper, additionally the Polish press was used. The conclusions of the study demonstrate a strong identification of "Novoe Vremya" with Polishness, perceived by the tsarist and the Russian public opinion as a cultural force preventing an effective unification of the lands of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania with the Russian Empire. At the same time, the relatively low readership and recognition of the newspaper in Polish circles are shown. This research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation.
