[project] by Bakunin in French” (Žáček, Slovanský sjezd, p. 361n). In all likelihood, Bakunin’s federative scheme and his recommendations for the manifesto are in fact the same document. In his later Confession (1851) to Tsar Nicholas I, Bakunin referred to only one proposal that he presented to the congress. Moreover, when Libelt’s new agenda was unveiled in the Polish-Ukrainian section on June 7, Bakunin emphatically opposed issuing separate manifestos to the European nations and to the Slavs. He recommended issuing “a simple declaration of principles.” Protocol in Wisłocki, Kongres słowianski, p. 116. Bakunin’s proposal was first published in Polish in the Lvov daily Dziennik Narodowy, August 31 and September 5, 1848, Nos. 132, 136, pp. 554–555, 568.
