"Among the Polish exiles in the Caucasus, Hippolyt Jaworski, a participant in both Polish uprisings and a fervent supporter of the independence of the homeland, can be counted among a different kind of diarists. At the same time, Jaworski completely supported Russia's policy in the Caucasus and the war that Russia waged there, he considered it a continuation of the struggle between Christian knights and Muslims in the borderlands of former Poland."
