Although the Polish revolt failed, its diplomatic impact cannot be ignored. Seven years aft er the Crimean War (1853–1856) Russia returned to the arena of international life without losing her powers. I will examine the Polish revolt from the aspect of satirical journals, emphasizing the crucial points and events they paid great attention to in their " reports ". Th ese are the following: Poland as a victim of Russian politics, the Russian attitude , the judgment of the Great Powers, the Russian–Prussian friendship and the recognition of Russian diplomatic success.

Some of them are widely known, like the „Speech to Reichstag” by the German chancellor, Otto von Bismarck; the Treaty of San Stefano terminating the Russo–Turkish war and the armistice agreement beforehand; together with the European meeting including agreements between the Great Powers, Great-Britain–Russia, and Great-Britain–Austria-Hungary.
However, it is rarely known that the Congress of Berlin originally had
been suggested by Count Gyula Andrássy at the Conference of Vienna, which was finally realized after the Treaty of San Stefano due to the Russian diplomacy. It took months until the island state and the empire could agree on the questions of territory and conferences. Despite German mediation between the two Great Powers, there had been no progress in the negotiations for a long time which resulted in the possibility of a war in the eyes of European public opinion. This
was worsened by the fact that the troops of the two countries’ were stationed at the Turkish capital facing each other. The essay aims to display the above, reflecting that the year of 1878 was very tense and caused uncertainty in the contemporary press.
Keywords: Congress of Berlin 1878, previous negotiations, Count Gyula
