Summary/Abstract: This article describes the book Eisenstein on Meyerhold, published inPoland in 2015 (Akademickie Sedno Publishers, Center for Russian Dialogue and Understanding, Warsaw) – the first work of its kind for many years, as Joanna Wojnicka stresses, made up of Sergei Eisenstein's statements on Vsevolod Meyerhold. The author attempts to delve into their mutual relationship, showing the disdain of the Stalinist authorities as a shared element of their biographies (Meyerhold was a victim of the Purges, Eisenstein lost the right to make films). Wojnicka outlines the fragmentary nature of the publication (journals, articles).
