Piotr Kacprzak (Radom) Forest management in the period of the January Uprising The January Uprising as a Polish national revolt is relatively well known by historians in the sphere of its political, military or social aspects. However, we know much less about its impact on the economy, forest management and its implications for economic life of Kingdom of Poland after the fall of the January Uprising. A major area of contemporary reality was forest management, particularly in Radom province where it was closely connected with the mining industry and steel industry. There were so-called „mining forests”. They were the sources of wood which was delivered to the mills and mines, allowing their functioning.This paper presents insurgent leaders’ and Russian authorities’ attitudes to forestry administration and government forests which were national wealth. It studies the realities of running the forestry administration, which consisted in its vast majority of Poles; the relationship between forestry administration and rural society; and finally the consequences of the collapse of the January Uprising for the Polish forestry administration and ongoing functioning of forest management, including particularly allocating a part of the forests for the property right reform and incorporating government forests in different forms of easements or benefits schemes. A lot of information provided in this paper is derived from the reports of contemporary forest district managers, subforesters or forest inspectors working at the Government Committee of the Income and Treasure or the Guberniya Government. This makes the image of contemporary reality most accurate. Although the January Uprising lasted only for 15 months, for forest management and administration it was one of the worst periods in the time of their functioning. The harassment and the arrests of the forestry administration staff were on daily basis, although it should be noted that only a small number of them took part in the uprising. The repressions of the partitioning authorities lasted to 1915 until the entry of Austro-Hungarian army.
