Cvetaeva was always intrugued with her Polish roots. She had no chance of meeting her mother’s moher so she used her poetic imagination to create her grandmother’s portrait in her poetry. Personal characteristics such as: extraordinary beauty, pride, self-restraint rebellious facial expression or secret of life are fund in Polish female characters in Her works (e.g. princess Izabela Czartoryska, Marina Mnishek). Mnishek is the most complex and controversial personality. Out of contrariness so typical of Cvetaeva, while creating the Mnishek’s image the poetess focused on positive characteristics and opposed stereotypes connected with this character, which always characterised artistic expression of the poetess. Another feature of her poetry was identification with her female characters and creation of imaginary, usually ideal life attitudes.

The article introduces new results of the genealogy research into Marina Cvetaeva’s family, particularly of its Polish line that can be traced back to the poet’s grandmother Maria Bernacka (Mayn). The approximate life periods of the poet’s Polish ancestors such as: grand grandmother Marianna Leduchovska and grand grandfather Luka Bernatsky, as well as grand grand grandfather Stanislav Leduchovsky and grand grand grandmother Elzhbeta Hoffman till the dynasty’s legendary founder Nestor Halka Leduchovsky count Shalava (Salava) (who was lived in the middle of the 15th century) have been set. The second part of the article draws the readers’ attention to some great Polish characters who provided the inspiration for Cvetaeva’s poems, e.g. the pretender for the Russian throne called Dymitri the Impostor, Marina Mnishek, Isabella Chartorysky and the poet’s grandmother. Besides her poetic inspirations this part of the article is also focused on the process of creating and rethinking the conception of characters, that took place in her poetic mind after sometime. The analysis of the poetical pieces is supplemented with commentary and some remarks, taken from the poet’s memories and essays as well as some other sources.
