Glebocki's expert knowledge of the subject, the interesting way he
formulates his observations, and the vast range of his source
materials make this book truly impressive.
*Piotr S. Wandycz, Yale University*
A first-rate account of the political aspect of the Polish question
in Russian thought of the Great Reform Age under Alexander II.
*Andrzej Walicki, professor emeritus, University of Notre Dame and
the Polish Academy of Sciences*
The scale of Glebocki's quest for source materials is absolutely
admirable... Henceforth no serious scholar of Polish-Russian
relations, Russian political thought, or Russian nationalism will
be able to skip this book with impunity.
*Andrzej Nowak, Jagiellonian University and the Institute of
History of the Polish Academy of Sciences*
