For some time now I’ve been obsessed with what we call in Poland “chłopomania” - basically… a fascination with peasants? I’ve gotten really into the history of how peasants used to live and who the nobility were. What shocked me the most is how cruel the nobility was toward peasants compared to Western Europe. In many countries serfdom had already disappeared, while here peasants were still enduring the worst humiliations from the nobility. Historians even call it “dispersed tyranny” - that’s how brutal it was. Back then, only someone of noble origin was considered Polish. Peasants weren’t seen as Poles.

I’ve gone so deep into this that I spend time browsing state archive websites looking through scans. If anyone’s interested, I can share more about what I find xP I’m also planning a photography project about the Polish countryside. Now that I have a driver’s license, it’ll be much easier to actually get started.
