Bi-centuries anniversary of the first polish campaign.
By Ph.d. Krzysztof Ostrowski of OSEN

We have been whitnesses of bicenturies anniversary of the glory of Austerlitz, that took place in Czech`s Slavkov u Brna. Thousands of uniforms, thousands of spectators - european medial event. On the other hand it maight be interesting how the slovakian Bratislava memorize on 26th of december bicentury anniversary of signing the treaty of peace. It recalled instead battle fields treaties of Campo-Formio and Luneville. In napoleonic epoque not only the art of strategy and sacrifice of thousand who died was finishing the political agreement, on which there were built following foundations of the future Europe. It is worth to remember that in one year distance we will start to memorize bicenturies of the military rivalry at the mouth of Wkra river, at Nasielsk, Gołymin, Pułtusk, Moršg, Barkweda, great battle at prussian Iława and then polish attacks at Tczew. Finally there was the battle at Frydland, that led to the treaty of peace in Tylża. The treaty had significant results for all its sides. For us the effect of that campaign was "Constitution of the Duchy of Warsaw", that created small but very important step towards to the Europe. The circle of the persons, that have been associated with OSEN (Institute of the studies over the napoleonic epoque), is convinced with the new perspectives for the interesting valuation of the napoleonic epoque. We have participated in memorizing the anniversaries of the bicenturies since the anniversary of 18th of Brumaire. We tried our forces in various events: historical display of the battles, milityary camps and imperial balls. Having one year distance of time before "our moment" we adress our appeal and polite request about the initiatives, that might recall the life in that times in poor regions of both prussian occupation and Prussia forced to mantain formany months hundred thousands of soldiers, thousands of officers, hundreds of generals and marshals. We are about preparations of syntetical aproach to that times in form of monography of Duchy of Warsaw. We are gratefull to the marshals governors of Mazovian, Warmian-Mazurian and Pommeranian Regions for their kind agreement to patronate the events recalling the most important moments of that times. Precised plans are expected to be published till the June 2006. In one month time there will be published first projects of international events, that will be held in cooperation with similar institutions from France, Germany and Russia, which are interested in memorizing the bicenturies of polish campaigns. The Christmas evening and whole Christmas of 1806 Napoleon spent in following places: Okunin-Czarnów, Nasielsk, Łopacin. New year was welcomed by Napoleon in Pułtusk. All the best!
