Abstract
This work on the insurmountable clash of the Russian and Western (that is, Polish) civilizations is, according to the reviewer, one of the Polish classics in "alternative circulation" (samizdat) of the 1970s, and was at that time one of the characteristic expressions of the historicization of debates on the future of Poland within the Soviet bloc. The reviewer uses this work to outline the typical features of these debates, and looks at the broader complex of problems mainly in the sphere of the history of ideas or ideologies and also the history of the anti-Communist opposition in modern Poland
