The Slavic world in present-day Poland is a remarkable conglomerate of post-Romantic interest in the roots of their own culture, profit-aimed marketing and several other factors one of them being Russian political influences. Slavic motifs have appeared in Polish culture, and not only the folk one, at least since the era of Romanticism. However, only in the last decade we can speak about a very wide range of Polish popular culture’s fields referring to Slavicism. These include diverse literature, plays of all kinds, film and TV production, music, fashion, and physical exercise. The article maps particular areas of this part of Polish popular culture, providing also the corresponding secondary literature dealing with them. It presents material for general introduction to the topic, while also presenting relevant material for further research.
