O Adamie Mickiewiczu i jego twórczości na łamach „Czerwonego Sztandaru”

Abstract

The article reviews the texts related to the life and work of Adam Mickiewicz, published in Czerwony Sztandar in Vilnius in the years 1953–1990. The analysis has shown that most of the materials published in the newspaper concerned primarily the life of the poet and emphasized the revolutionary character of the newspaper. They mention translations of Mickiewicz’s works into Lithuanian and the influence of Mickiewicz’s writing on Lithuanian literature. The authors of these publications were writers, literary scholars, journalists and readers of the Czerwony Sztandar. The newspaper featured Mickiewicz’s writing and published various people’s statements (usually writers) about his writing and their works devoted to Mickiewicz. Reports on various events organized in honor of the writer were announced, too. In particular, a lot of material related to the life and works of the great romanticists appeared in 1955 (also known as the Year of Adam Mickiewicz).
