He took an active part in the Polish uprising of 1830–31 and wrote a lot against Russia; but then in Paris , where he emigrated, a change occurred in his way of thinking.
In La Vérité sur la Russie (1835), he entrusts a Pan-Slav mission to Russia. Emperor Nicholas allowed him to return to Russia, but Gurovsky did not find here suitable ground for his ambition; he lived at one time in Poznan and Breslau , and in 1848 he moved to North America.
Collaborated in the New-York Tribune and becomes close to Walt Whitman . During the Crimean War, spoke in support of Russia.
Until the end of his life, he did not change his opinion about Poland :
Poland is just a bloody ghost, haunting governments and nations; the shadow of the Chinese lantern, which demagogues entertain madmen.
