The present publication discusses the attitude of the residents of the Lublin areatowards the outbreak, the course and outcome of the war, as well as its impact on the everydaylife of civilian population in the years 1914–1915. The memoirs and personal accountschosen to this end allow for the determination of the prevailing social attitudes, as they reflectthe opinions of not just the well-educated and self-conscious strata, but also the “silent” partof the society, i.e. that which had been affected the most by the war, and where the majorityof refugees originated from – both during the local resettlements in 1914, and the forcedmigration of the citizens of Congress Poland into Russia’s interior, caused by the soullessdecisions of the Russian authorities in the following year.
