K. Mielzynska's open letter attacking Pilsudski after the May coup. 1926.

OPEN LETTER to former Marshal of Poland Jozef Pilsudski. I did not suppose that it was possible, to write to a criminal, and I am surprised that I am doing so [...]. In the instant, bloody moment of the unfortunate breakthrough on the Poniatowski Bridge, you ceased to be a son of Poland [...]. Now, you are already an outcast of the land that nourished you [...]. Today, your words, spoken to President [...] Stanislaw Wojciechowski [...] 'And so your time ends Stanislaw!...' are valid only for you, and now every day, every moment, until death shuts your eyes, you can repeat to yourself your own words: 'Your time has come to an end, Joseph' [...]. Poznan, 1st day of Pentecost [= 26th of May] [1926]. [Subp.] by Konstancja Mielźyńska.
