Reportages about Russia by Krystyna Kurczab-Redlich and Jacek Hugo-Bader

The main purpose of this article is to present the image of Russia in the Polish literary reportage. I would like to show how often the contemporary Polish reportage refers to national stereotypes, even if it wants to argue with them. My analysis mainly focus on the books of Krystyna Kurczab-Redlich and Jacek Hugo-Bader, who describe the contemporary russian politics and culture from different perspectives. While the author of "Pandrioszka" mostly concentrates on Moscow, the author of "Dzienniki kołymskie" is particularly interested in Kolyma.
