The conference is devoted to an analysis of the long-term consequences of the Partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for communities living in the territories of the Russian, Habsburg and Prussian Empires. The 250th anniversary of the First Partition falls in 2022 and is an opportunity to reflect on the general reception and historic interpretation of the Partitions across the 19th century in order to reconstruct the diverse, non-linear and fragmented character of these transitions.
