Yes, a good source for everyone to learn in a pill how Poles treated Ukraine and its people in the past.
Keeping Ukraine under the Polish boot was possible thanks to the trecherous collusion of Polish top elites like royals and aristocrats with Russia. I already mentioned it several times before that most Polish nobles didn`t care what happened to Poland as long as their property and land ownership remained intact. Russian troops provided such protection.
Interviewer: "Your Royal Majesty should not lament too much over the loss of the public good, since You managed to save individual goods," writes Jan Potocki to King Stanisław August right after the Third Partition of Poland. This theme runs through your entire book - Polish elites exploit the tsarist power to maintain their wealth.
Daniel Beauvois: This is one of the things that was not discussed before my research. The archives show that the landed gentry collaborated with the tsar on a huge scale. Without the help of the police, sometimes the Russian army, the Polish lords could not suppress the rebellions or maintain order on their estates. I think this was most visible during the revolution of 1905. At that time, the landed gentry sent a lot of various appeals and telegrams to Kiev, asking the authorities to send a police detachment or a Cossack sotnia to help them. They were surrounded by their peasants. They themselves said: "Our residences are islands of civilization in a sea of barbarity." That's how they saw themselves: as people constantly under threat.
