'Kolano' was a Polish periodical edited and published in Berlin by Leszek Oswiecimski and Piotr Mordel. Between 1995 and 2001 they published 17 issues of the magazine. Its subject matters concentrated on poetry, prose, journalism and information on activities of the Association of Polish Losers. The periodical promoted especially young Polish authors and artists who left Poland in 80. and 90. after the Solidarity revolution. Some issues of 'Kolano' were in part bilingual (Polish–German). Nowadays the magazine is hardly available in Poland. All volumes are only in possession of Maria Kalczynska from Opole and Jan Wolski from Rzeszow.
