Summary/Abstract: The Linguistic Factor of Intercultural Communication on the Belorussian and Ukrainean Territories Incorporated into the Russian Empire after the Division of Reci Pospolitoi (up to the middle of the XIXth century). Polylinguistic situation in the former Polish provinces incorporated into the Russian Empire after the Partitions of Poland 1772, 1793 and 1795, the coexistence of Polish, Russian, Latin, Church Slavonic, Idish and local peasants vernaculars reflected the common for Eastern Europe interplay between religious and language diversity with social differences. Until mid 19th century the language factor in Russian Empire policy never played any crucial role. But nevertheless the ethnocultural understanding of the nation during the 19th century replaced the dynastic and estate one. And despite the coincidence of social and language division lines the language coexistence resulted in the formation of local (kresowy) dialects of Polish.
