The Adam Mickiewicz Institute has just launched a brand-new Russian language version! However, unlike the Polish and English versions, the Russian site is also meant to showcase Polish culture through the eyes of its Eastern neighbors, and vice versa.
We intend to write about art and culture in the artistic sense, but also covering social phenomena from a cultural perspective. We plan to introduce Russian speakers with the latest in Polish literature by regularly publishing fragments of the most recent Polish poetry and prose. Our editorial team is multinational and, in addition to our Polish and Russian authors, we will invite Belarussian and Ukrainian collaborators to write for us in their respective native language.
We are undertaking this endeavor in the hope that the Russian version will offer a platform for voices which have otherwise little chance to resonate in mainstream media: independent opinions from post-Soviet states and post-Communist states, which through the prism of Polish culture will shed a new light on artistic and social events worth discovering.

Managing Editor of the Russian version of Culture.pl
