The article analyses the conditions and circumstances of reception of Russian literature in the Congress Kingdom of Poland and Galicia at the turn of the 19th and early in the 20th centuries. Based on opinions of artists, critics and politicians found in Polish press, memoirs, and diaries, the research attempts to prove how deeply the social and political situation of Poland (the January Uprising of 1863, the Russian-Japanese War and the Revolution of 1905) influenced the Polish view of Russia, Russians and Russian culture; how politics generated different stereotypes, clichés which stimulated, aroused or hindered interests in the literature of neighbouring Russia. The contemporary opinions about Russian literature oscillated between hatred and fascination. Hate, aversion, and contempt for everything that was related to Russia, in its capacity of an invader, were caused especially by fear that the beauty of the Russian literature could be used as an effective method of Russification: one that could weaken Polish national identity. For this reason, potential admiration for it was frequently mingled with a sense of sin against patriotic imperative.

This article tries to answer the question about the presence of Russian symbolism in the literary consciousness of 'Young Poland' and to explore to what extent its reception was conditioned by a combination of social and politica1 factors. The analysis is focused on the work of two Polish modernists, Tadeusz Nalepinski and Tadeusz Micinski, who are known to have pursued an artistic dialogue with the poetry of Russia's leading symbolist poet Aleksandr Blok. The author of the article argues that they must have been familiar with his Verses 'About the Beautiful Lady' (Stikhi o Prektasnoi Dame). What is more, Blok's poem became for them a lasting inspiration especially in the portrayal of women characters.
