The second half of the nineteenth century was a period of dynamic development in Warsaw’s district of Praga. Along with industrial development, trade and transportation came a sharp increase in the population of Warsaw – from 260 000 in 1864 to 900 000 in 1914. The population of Praga rose from a several thousand to 90 000. Orthodox Christians made up 13% of the population of the district, around 15 000. These Orthodox Christians, however were not made up of one nationality. At the turn of the twentieth century, 70% of Orthodox Christians in Praga were of Russian decent or from the eastern borderlands (Kresy) with Russian sounding last names. 15-20% were “native” Poles with Polish last names. The remaining 10-15% were Greeks, Bulgarians and Georgians. These are of course approximate figures, however only 50% of local Orthodox Christians considered their native language as Russian. This leads us to conclude, that the percentage of non-Russian nationalities among the Orthodox could only account for half of the faithful. Just prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, about 5 000 Orthodox Christians lived in Praga. 60% were Russians or from the eastern borderlands with Russian last names, 30% “native” Poles and 10% other nationalities.

Celem rozważań jest zwrócenie uwagi na współczesne zjawisko odrodzenia kultury na warszawskiej Pradze w oparciu o zjawisko powstawania „dzielnicy artystycznej”. Zastosowano metody badań niezbędne dla zrozumienia problemu naukowego. Zmiany zachodzące na warszawskiej Pradze, niegdyś dzielnicy kojarzonej wyłącznie z przestępczością i biedą, bezpośrednio bądź pośrednio powiązane są z autentyczną tkaną miejską i lokalnymi tradycjami. Ten unikatowy „praski klimat” spowodował powstanie nowych współczesnych środowisk społecznych – neo-bohemy. Stworzenie przestrzeni, która nie zakłóci charakteru Pragi zwanego potocznie „praskim klimatem”, to nowe zadania dla architektów i urbanistów. W artykule autorka wykazała, iż kluczem do zrozumienia genius loci Pragi stanowi nie tylko świadomość autentyczności architektury, ale również lokalnej społeczności, jej potrzeb, patriotyzmu, hartu ducha, dążeń i niezaprzeczalnego potencjału. Materiał będący wynikiem badań jest wyjściowy dla dalszych opracowań, zakłada się jego rozpowszechnianie wśród projektantów, inwestorów, artystów związanych z warszawską Pragą.

The aim of considerations is to draw attention to the modern phenomenon of cultural Renaissance in Warsaw Praga District on the basis of the phenomenon of “art district”. The author applied the research methods necessary for understanding the scientifi c problem. The changes taking place in Praga, a former district being associated exclusively with crime and poverty, directly or indirectly are related to the authentic structure of municipal and local traditions. This unique “Praga climate” caused the emergence of new contemporary social environments - neo-bohemian. Creating a space that does not disturb the character of Praga, commonly referred to as “Praga atmosphere”, is a new task for architects and urban planners. In the article, the author showed that the key to understanding the “genius loci” of Praga is not only awareness of the authenticity of the architecture, but also the local community, its needs, patriotism, fortitude, aspirations, and undeniable potential. The material resulting from the research is a starting point for further studies, assumed its spread among designers, investors, and artists associated with Warsaw Praga.
