Summary/Abstract: The article considers three Polish translations of the Igor Severyain’s poem It passed by the sea. The analysis finds the lexical and semantic phenomena typical of this Russian ego-futurist (neologisms, the structure of the verse, the unexpectedness of images). However, it turns out, that in this case, the translator’s decisions depend primarily on the purpose of the translation and the manner of the author of the target text.
