1888 CE to 1899 CE

These transformations change the face of Polish politics as well, giving rise to new parties and movements that will dominate the Polish landscape for the next century.

The grievances of the lower classes lead to the formation of peasant and socialist parties.

Communism gains only a marginal following, but a more moderate socialist faction led by Jozef Pilsudski wins broader support through its emphatic advocacy of Polish independence.

By 1905 Pilsudski's party, the Polish Socialist Party, will be the largest socialist party in the entire Russian Empire.

The National Democratic Party of Roman Dmowski (1864-1939) will become the leading vehicle of the right by espousing a doctrine that combines nationalism with mistrust of Jews and other minorities.

By the turn of the century, Polish political life has emerged from the relative quiescence of Organic Work and entered a stage of renewed assertiveness.

In particular, Pilsudski and Dmowski have initiated what will be long careers as the paramount figures in the civic affairs of Poland.

After 1900 political activity will be suppressed only in the Prussian sector.
