[edit] Some questions

The following para

Priest Antanas Baranauskas (1835-1902) belonged to the early Krajowcy, and he thought of Lithuanian national activists as a group of Polish separatists. Even though he wrote about "our dear nation" in the Lithuanian language, he denounced political independence of Lithuania.

looks unclear to me. How Lithuanian national activist could be regarded as Polish separatist? (maybe it means a kind of political equivalence? then some rewording would apply, perhaps). Does the last sentence (denouncing political independence of Lithuania) caracterizes Krajowcy group? If so, I believe it should be mentioned and explained what does it mean when compared to their program of creating a state. If, however, it was a personal conviction of the priest, maybe a better place for it is in his proper article? --Beaumont (@) 16:20, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

In essence, Baranauskas thought of both Poles and Lithuanians as one nation and that cutting out independent Lithuania would be unfair division of one nation. So Lithuanians seeking independence were just stupid Poles wanting a country for themselves, which was, of course, unacceptable. Denouncing political independence of Lithuania goes more or less for all krajowcy (BTW, Polish sources should be more detailed about krajowcy because Lithuanian ones just mention them in the passing), but especially the early ones. Baranauskas need to be mentioned here as he is a good example. Renata 15:57, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
