Maxim Gorky’s person has become a legend already during the writer’s life, and his perception has been ideologized both in Russia and abroad. This is evidenced by the analysis carried out in the article reception Gorky’s drama in Poland, the most important phase of which was determined by the changing political situation. The reception has changed substantially: from the spontaneous popularity of the Russian writer at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries through ambivalence in the interwar period, forced apotheosis after World War II to marginalization after 1989 and reinterpretation attempts in recent times. As the analysis shows, a significant part of Gorky’s plays has survived the difficult test of time. These literary works, for many directors and spectators, are a carrier of universal values, while the author is considered a classic of Russian dramaturgy.

In the years 1917-1918 Maxim Gorky published a series of articles “Untimely thoughts” with a subtitle “Revolution and culture” in the “Novaya Zhizn” (New Life) newspaper, in which he appealed for finishing the war and strengthening the position of workers. He also protested against Kerensky’s dictatorship and warned against the peasantry barbarity. The K-D newspaper “Rech” (Speech), defending the policy of the Russian Provisional Government, entered into polemics with Gorky. Since the October Revolution the main opponent of “Novaya Zhizn” had been the bolshevist “Prav-da” (The Truth). Gorky accused Bolsheviks of betraying the revolution and criticised their policy of terror.

My paper is a proposal for a non-standard reading of Mother by Maxim Gorky, often perceived as a piece of propaganda with low artistic value, a novel overfilling with ideology, subjugated to the doctrine of social realism. I would like to step beyond these stereotypes and show some contexts that have hardly been identified in the Polish reception of Russian literature from the early 20th century. I distinguish three main issues in the content of the novel: the image of the mother (novel about a mother), socialism as the “new religion” and the utopia of the “new man”. I see the current of Marxism called God-Building as a very important ideological context. I refer to research by Polish and Russian literary scholars and to my own findings.

The image of the writer plays an important role in the publicist works of Ivan Bunin in 1920. It is the image of the author struggling against the Bolsheviks, and the image of those writers who helped the Bolsheviks propaganda as well as “new Soviet writers”. In 1920 Bunin as the most signif-icant writer of the Russian Diaspora focuses on the most famous writer among those who, according to Bunin, supports the Bolsheviks – Maxim Gorky. Bunin also pays close attention to the contro-versy with H.G. Wells: this is due to the role that the English writer played in the context of Soviet Russia. Bunin’s works in 1920 are written as a reaction of the Russian writer to the various texts published in the press, and the discussion with the works of his main opponents – Gorky and Wells.

The paper takes up the problem of the genre of Maxim Gorky’s novel/novella The Life of Matvei Kozhemyakin (1911). The author of the article finds the discussed work synthetic in terms of genre, indicating features of various genres (annals, saga, autobiography, several varieties of the novel, including historical, social, and family novel) which form in it a harmonious artistic whole. Following the interpretations of Jerzy Lenarczyk, Ivo Pospíšil and other scholars, the author of the article puts forward the family saga as the predominating generic component and emphasizes that “the family idea” (mysl semeinaia) influenced many of Gorky’s works and shaped their generic structure.

В статье рассматривается проблема жанра повести/романа Максима Горького Жизнь Матвея Кожемякина (1911). Автор статьи считает жанр повести синтетическим, ибо в произведении обнаруживаются черты многих жанров, составивших единое художественное целое. В нeм можно отыскать родство с древними летописями/сказаниями, с дневником, а также с несколькими романными разновидностями: с историческим, общественно-бытовым и семейным романами. Вслед за Ежи Ленарчиком, Иво Поспишилом и др. исследователями, автор статьи считает жанровой доминантой произведения семейную хронику, так как во многих горьковских произведениях важное место занимала «семейная мысль», требующая соответствующего ей жанрового оформления.

The paper explores the reception of Maxim Gorky’s literary works in Poland in 1900–2018. At the beginning of the 20th century Gorky was among the most-translated Russian authors. Translations of his works were published in the former Polish territories under all partitions (Russian, Prussian and Austrian). In the years 1918–1939/1945, despite anti-Soviet attitudes of a significant part of Polish society, Gorky was still very popular. In the times of the Polish People’s Republic (1945–1989), the writer was characterized by the historians of Russian literature as a classic Soviet writer and the founder of the Socialist Realism. Polish scholars usually repeated views of their Soviet colleagues. Recently Gorky’s works attract attention rather of Polish writers and publicists (Józef Hen, Adam Michnik, Sylwia Frołow, Krzysztof Varga) than of historians of literature.

В статье представлены особенности восприятия литературного творчества Максима Горького в Польше в 1900–2018 гг. В начале XX в. его произведения часто переводились на польский язык (в Российской империи, Австро-Венгрии и Германии). В 1920–1930 гг., несмотря на антисоветские настроения, Горький пользовался в Польше большой популярностью. В 1945–1989 гг. польские литературоведы, вслед за советскими учеными, представляли Горького как классика советской литературы и основателя методы соцреализма. В последнее время к творчеству Горького чаще обращаются писатели и публицисты (Юзеф Хен, Адам Михник, Силвия Фролов, Кшиштоф Варга), чем историки литературы.
