„INSERATY (KRAJOWE) (ZAGRANICZNE)” IN RELATION TO THE NATIONALITY ISSUE (UKRAINIAN AND JEWISH) IN GALICIA. A CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF THE KRAKOW BUSINESS PRESS OF THE 19TH CENTURY (PART I)

Abstract

The above article focuses on nationalistic motifs in „Inseraty (krajowe) (zagraniczne)”– a commercial paper from 1867. The Ukrainian problem was downplayed in its pages, showing a greater reluctance of Jews, much less numerous than Ukrainians. Such a tendency was inconsistent with the general attitude among Poles in Galicia - the Ukrainian, not the Jewish one was considered a bigger problem. An exception to the rule were also the press organs of the first ephemeral Christian-social parties. Jewish issues prevailed, which leads to the conclusion that for the emerging Catholic-social movement it was perhaps the most important issue. Such a case raises the question of how this issue was presented not only in the trade press, what even in the entire economic press of Krakow? How did you refer to the Jewish question, and how to refer to the Ruthenian (Ukrainian) question? Who was considered a bigger enemy? Of course, the business press can be examined at this angle in other Galician press centers.
