In 1815, the Vienna Congress for the next century decided the fate of the lands of the former Commonwealth. A significant part of them became part of Russia - at first as the Kingdom of Poland, endowed with a constitution and self -government, then - as a Privuslinsky region, devoid of all autonomy. Twice these lands shook great uprisings, and then the 1905 revolution. From the landfill to test liberal reforms, they turned into a source of constant concern of St. Petersburg, an object of submission and Russification. The author shows how the Russian bureaucracy and residents of the Kingdom of Poland simultaneously conflict and found the zones of peaceful interaction, which was especially pronounced in the modernization of the urban environment, as a clash with the Polish question "changed the attitude of the imperial nucleus to the rest of the peripheral regions and as the image of the “rebellious Poles” affected On the formation of the national identity of the Russians, as the Polish provinces, even after an attempt to Russify them, remained for St. Petersburg a “alien land”, which was not subject to complete cultural transformation.
