Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on Czesław Miłosz's connections with Russia. The poet spend a few years in Russia where he experienced I-st World War and Russian Revolution. He kept going back to those memories over and over. Spending his early years in Russia he learned not only language but what's more he acquired something we could call "eastern features". In his essays he did studied Russian issues a lot. He also interpreted Russian literature masterpieces and explained the key moments of Russian culture and history. Miłosz was inspired by Russian literature and his Russian experience has a strong impact on his outlook and creation. In my research I am trying to find the way to understand this impact and if it is still existing or even if it is more actual nowadays.
