In 1846 she started a newspaper for the intelligentsia of Vilnius and Warsaw, and furthered the establishment of Krasicki's ''Fables'' in Poland's suppressed political life.  In her ''Diary of the Years 1815–1843'', Puzynina focuses on the fable, "[[Fables and Parables#Birds in a Cage|Birds in a Cage]]", as a commentary on the [[Partitions of Poland]].
