Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the reflection on the Polish-Ukrainian literary connections in the 1920s. In the light of the research results there can be observed a noticeable impact of Polish literature on Ukrainian literature and Ukrainian literary circles, which intensified at the turn of the nineteenth century. Most frequently Polish influence manifested in mediation in the transfer of the latest modernist tendencies of Western culture. However, Poland was often presented as a successful model of cultural development. This work also shows that the reception of Polish literature was present in the Soviet Ukraine as well, and it was most noticeable in the literature of Kievian Neoclassicists.
