The paper examines the reception forms of Russian literature in the cultural periodicals Slovenské pohľady and Revue svetovej literatúry in the 1960s and 1970s. In attempting to identify and name the factors of national culture ś socio-political system that played the key role in cultural atmosphere determining the literary life, it analyses the picture/pictures of the Russian literature as presented by the two magazines. To a certain degree, the research enables also setting up a periodization of the 1960s and 1970s with regard to the translations and publications of Russian literature.

With both of the magazines, obvious emblematic features in publishing Russian literature have come out, clearly indicating the character and changes of their time.
