ENIwan (Jānis) Sprogis (1833-1918) - an important figure in the intellectual life of Wilno at the turn of the 20th century, archivist, researcher in folklore and activist in the Orthodox community. For over 50 years he kept a journal, which is an interesting historical source unfortunately rarely used in academic research. The article presents an outline of Iwan Sprogis’s biography (mainly based on his autobiography dating from 1912) and information on the journals. They show the life of the inhabitants of Wilno through the perspective of the author’s personal experiences and ideological convictions. Attention is paid to national and religious issues, especially to the complex character of the coexistence and competition between various urban communities under the conditions of repressions after the January rising, at the end of the 19th century, after the revolution of 1905 and in the years 190512. Sprogis’s diaries contain information on the life of the Orthodox community (e.g. on building new Orthodox churches on the outskirts of Wilno), that of the Polish, Jewish, Belarusian, Lithuanian and Latvian communities; the activists of the „Western Ruthenian” movement, and urban events.
