The aim of this paper is to introduce dilemmas and challenges connected with presenting the past and history to thanatourists. For this purpose, we will explain the main features of dark tourism, which deals with the so called difficult/dissonant heritage. This characteristic will help to pay attention to the difficulties with exhibiting dark objects, which, in the course of time, become more and more commercialized. The last problem, raised in this article, is confrontation between tour guides’ narration about history and its perception among tourists representing different cultures. Information derived from non‑directive interview with Cracow tour guides will serve as examples for theoretical reflection.

The paper is focusing on the relationship between space and identity. According to the term genius loci, which may be understood as location’s distinctive atmosphere or a “spirit of place”, it is possible to explore some visible and invisible features of the place which play substantial role in social life of the local community. The case study of Saint Peterburg illustrates how the context of place, where people live, can have a significant influence on how they define themselves. The article raises the subject of cultural interpretation of space and compares the past and the present identity of St. Peterburg inhabitants. It focuses on myths, images and crucial events from the history, which constitute memory, value-system and social practices of modern citizens.

The article presents the issue of Polish citizens’ travels to Russia. The introduction outlines the most important features of the current situation in the Russian tourist market, including its potential and problems ‘inherited’ after the former political system. In this context, the article analyses the tourist movement from Poland, while considering factors that favour or hamper its development. The article has been based on the analysis of statistical data (from research projects conducted by the Institute of Tourism and the corresponding institutions in Russia), as well as the author’s own experiences. It adds to the current state of knowledge – particularly by adding the practical conclusions, which in the future can be put to practice in order to improve the Polish-Russian cooperation in the field of tourism.
