Though originally used in jest, with time the renewed interest in folk traditions influenced the national revivals in Poland and Ukraine, both ruled by foreign empires. "Peasant-mania", a manifestation of both neo-romanticism and populism, arose during Galicia's rule by Austria-Hungary and touched both Poles and Ukrainians. It also manifested itself in the Russian Empire in forms of Narodniks, where it strongly contributed to the shaping of modern Ukrainian culture. Chłopomania also contributed to formation of Hromadas (communities of Ukrainian intelligentsia).
