Unlike the well known and often studied personal and literary relationship between Pushkin and Mickiewicz the Polish national poet’s connection with Griboyedov does not belong to the items on the agenda of Slavic research.
That may have to do with the fact that in spite of their personal knowledge, of their common friends (Bulgarin, Vyazemsky) and of their popularity in the contemporary literary life of Moscow and Petersburg both poets do not take notice of each other.
The article departs from Stefan Chwin’s statement that notwithstanding the lack of a genetic dependence the Polish romantic tale “Konrad Wallenrod” and the Russian neoclassical comedy “Wit from woe” both are typologically connected.

Set in the 14th century, it carefully describes the local culture of the time in a story about a character caught between contradictory systems of values.
Parts IV and II are linked through their protagonist: between the two sections the unhappy lover Gustaw transforms into the patriot and insurrectionist Konrad.
The climaxes in sections II and IV are the Great Improvisation (a monologue in which Konrad speaks out against God for making his nation the victim of a crime) and the Vision of Father Peter (who in a moment of piety and love of God experiences a vision of a Poland reborn in the future).

 Polish Music Journal 2. 1-2. (1999). Dorota Zakrzewska: Mickiewicz's "Ballady" and Chopin's Ballades
Konrad tells it all here—he, like all of the exiles, is condemned to be homeless, misunderstood and alienated in "lands of hostile tongue."[48] The same profound feeling of loneliness was expressed by Chopin throughout his life, his isolation was intensified by being misunderstood, and consequently, he was often alienated from those around him.
In the Prologue to the drama the Prisoner in the Basilian monastery in Vilno is transformed from the self-centered tragic romantic hero Gustav into Konrad, the suffering embodiment of his nation.
M.D. This metamorphosis of Gustav into Konrad brings to mind Chopin's exclamations in his Stuttgart Diary—"for a moment I died in my heart; no, my heart died in me for a moment." Once again, Chopin and Mickiewicz use the same imagery of spiritual death and rebirth, of spiritual transformation, to describe their feelings.

 Democracy in the Catholic Church? - Discussion forum
On the other hand, what is the interesting in omnipresent media attempts at summing up these years of Wojtyła, is, of course, what is being assiduously passed over in silence.
Contrarily to another romantic hero — Konrad Wallenrod, who became the great master of the Teutonic knights in sole intention to destroy their order from within — the pope could obviously not go beyond the limits of his duties.
He simply could not introduce any more democracy into the structure that has been created on the very principle of obedience to the hierarchy.

Heading south I reached the mountains of Alpuharas where Almanzor, after escaping from the final lost battle, returned self-inflicted with the plague, to transmit it to the Spaniards.
The 19th century's Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz consecrated a poem to Almanzor's sacrifice, within a longer epic poem called 'Konrad Wallenrod.' I don't remember who added the melody, turning the poem into a song.
I was driving through the dusty countryside; the spirit of the epoch took me under its spell.

As a young man of ruggedly good looks, Karol Wojtyla first aspired to be an actor on the Polish stage.
He naturally immersed himself in such Polish classics as Dziady (Forefathers Eve), Pan Tadeusz, and Konrad Wallenrod, all of which were based on Lithuanian themes.
His fateful decision to enter the priesthood during the horrible Nazi occupation of Poland was heavily influenced by Prince Cardinal Adam Sapieha (Sapiega), the scion of an aristocratic family with deep roots in Lithuanian history.

Now, let us look at Lueck for Adam Mickiewicz's statements on the Teutonic Knights "invited into Poland to protect the Poles against the Lithuanians; the Poles later combined with the Lithuanians against the Teutonic Knights -- Translator's note" in his novel "Grazyna", to see just what Professor Markiewicz is so proud of today.
