Initially I planned to add him to both Category:Belarusian people, Category:Polish people and perhaps to Category:Lithuanian people. However, after some time I decided that such a categorisation would be misleading and listed him simply under Category:Slavic people. I believe that Kalinoǔski/Kalinowski/Kalinauskas would oppose such categorisations himself - and that's exactly why I consider him one of my idols. Halibutt 18:30, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
>>He also referred to the good traditions of democracy, tolerance and freedom of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as opposed to national oppression of cultures dominated by Imperial Russia.
Doesn't this have to be qualified somehow? As we all know tolerance (for sure) and freedom (to a lesser extent) in PLC was largly over after Counterreformation. The tone here is that Polonization of Belarusians is better than Rusification. I understand that you are saying "referred to", but I would still prefer to see something like "His ideal was the good traditions of democracy, tolerance and freedom of the early Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as opposed to national oppression of cultures dominated by Imperial Russia."
