At the time of mass politics, when the suffrage covered an ever-increasing share of the population, city squares, spaces and objects available there were attributed a new function. They became a place for regular meetings and demonstrations. Most of the marches ended near the City Theater or the monument to Adam Mickiewicz, rallies were often organized there. In contrast to the "good old" times, when one could celebrate in the church and at the Strzelnica (Shooting Range), mass politics brought people to the streets, without confining them to institutions or clubs.
