Abstract:

The article is devoted to Professor Wacław Lednicki’s relations with the Russian émigré community. Lednicki was one of the pre-eminent Polish Slavists, distinguished for his promotion of Polish literature in the United States, where he gained a respectable position in the academic community. Although his worldview was liberal, he was, contrary to popular belief, aware of the severe obstacles that made an understanding with the Russians impossible. It may seem surprising, but he shared the views of Prof. Jan Kucharzewski and Prof. Marian Zdziechowski (from his late period) on Russian history.
