Abstrakt: The article deals with a strong interest in the East and a rapid development of oriental studies in Ukraine in the 1920s and the early 1930s, which was reflected in fiction. At the time P. Tychyna, M. Bazhan, L. Pervomaisky, V. Dubrovsky and others actively translated poetry and prose of Eastern literatures. The Eastern culture and direct impressions of personal journeys became a powerful urge to create lyric and epic works (the short stories and tales by O. Dosvitniy, "The Conspiracy of Desmol" by L. Velychko, "The Black Lake" by V. Gzhytsky, "The Novel of Mezhyhirya" by I. Le, "The Master of the Ship" by Yu. Yanovsky and others). But the most detailed and comprehensive vision of the nature, climate, economic features, way of life and culture of the Eastern people could be seen in numerous travel sketches.

The reportage comprises two parts, the first one dedicated to Dagestan, the second – to Chechnya. The division of the text is a message (or metaphor) in itself: the North Caucasus is not a monolithic land, embracing as it does various socio-political processes. The authors carry on their journey with the awareness that the region is gradually and inevitably separating itself from the civilization of Russia – this is the main thought of their article.

Obrazy środkowoazjatyckich republik sowieckich w polskiej literaturze zesłańczej i łagrowej Autorzy: Sucharski, Tadeusz Abstrakt: The main objective of the article is to reconstruct the everyday life of Poles in exile, deported during the Second World War to the Soviet Muslim republics in Central Asia. Polish deportees were sent to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Most memoirs and fictional texts are dedicated to Poles in Kazakhstan, and only some of them refer to the everyday life in Uzbekista; there are, in fact, no works on the life in exile in Kyrgyzstan. In all the texts we find images of everyday life in exile and reports on relationships, often contradictory, between Poles and Asians. The spectrum of Polish attitudes ranged from hatred to friendship and compassion. What united Poles and Asians was the belief in one God and the anti-communist stance.
