Summary/Abstract: The research material in this work is the dilogy of Sergey Lukyanenko Rough Draft (Черновик, 2005) and Final Draft (Чистовик, 2007). In the first part (Rough Draft) the author focuses on the image of modern Russia, while in the second part (Final Draft) he expands his observations into Poland and its people. The image presented by the author notably duplicates ethnic and cultural stereotypes about Poland and Poles, fixed in the common consciousness of Russians. As a result, despite the objectivity declared by the author, it is difficult to consider the discussed novels a breakthrough in the context of the process of overcoming mutual prejudices between the neighboring nations on the basis of the literature.
