The vision of the future Polish-Russian relations became one of the key issues raised in the Paris emigration magazine 'Kultura'. As early as 1948, the magazine published extracts from Russian writers' works and literary-critical sketches devoted to Russian literature. The crucial project in this first phase of activities to be aimed at Polish-Russian reconciliation was a special number of 'Kultura' in Russian. The basic aim of the Russian issue was to undertake the dialogue between the Polish and Russian intellectuals. An overriding objective of this project was an attempt to present the problem in the context of mutual Polish-Russian political and cultural relations. The special number devoted to the Polish-Russian relations met with a wide response from the Russian diaspora in the USA and Germany. Emigration magazines published in New York and Munich such as 'Novyi Zhurnal', 'Novoe Russkoe Slovo', and 'Posev' in a friendly way responded to the initiative undertaken by 'Kultura' to promote dialogue. After 1960, the Literary Institute published two other issues in Russian, in 1971 and 1981 accordingly. The problem of the Polish-Russian relations raised by Jerzy Giedroyc - Editor-in-Chief of 'Kultura' - significantly influenced the restoration of bilateral relations. As a result the question of the Polish-Russian relations came to be considered in a different context: a tradition free of stereotypes, historical complexes, and of the mutual distrust sustained throughout history.

Current studies on cognitive processes focused also on specificity and neurobiology of working memory. Working memory is mostly connected with the activity of prefrontal cortex, and their disturbances are an important element in the etiopathogenesis of mental illnesses. Activity of different neurotransmitters and also neurotrophic systems, especially brain derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF) play an important role in memory processes. It is also important in brain developmental processes and the polymorphism of BDNF gene now is in the center of genetic-molecular studies on working memory processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate a relation between polymorphisms Val66Met and C-270T of BDNF gene and the efficiency of working memory measured by neuropsychological tools: Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Stroop test and Trail Making Test A&B in healthy subjects. The study was performed on 90 healthy volunteers (33 women, 57 men) aged 18-58 years. The results obtained have demonstrated the relation between performance on some of neuropsychological tests and polymorphism C-270T of BDNF gene, and the relationship was different in male and female group. However no association between the performance of the neuropsychological tests and polymorphism of Val66Met of BDNF gene was found. The results indicate different influence of the BDNF gene polymorphisms in working memory processes.
