In 1949, the 15th issue of the Parisian “Kultura” published a text entitled “The Nation in the Journey of Yevhen Malaniuk” signed under the pseudonym Julian Kardosz. Its author attempted to provide a synthetic presentation of the Ukrainian emigration environment in the 1920s and 1930s. This was how the Ukrainian poet’s collaboration with the “Kultura” magazine, edited by Jerzy Giedroyc, began. This collaboration was an important testimony to the modernization processes in Polish-Ukrainian relations, and was also a very important voice in the literary and ideological dialogue of representatives of the Polish and Ukrainian intelligentsia, sentenced to exile for political reasons. The Polish writer Józef Łobodowski also understood the need to engage in such a discussion, as expressed in his texts such as the sketch “Przeciw upiorom przeszłości” [Against the Ghosts of the Past] published in “Kultura” 1952, no. 2/52–3/53, and an earlier article entitled “Serce za barykadą” [Heart behind the barricade] published in the first, March issue of “Trybuna” in 1932. Józef Łobodowski, deeply involved in the conscious building of Polish-Ukrainian relations, also translated a four-volume anthology of Ukrainian poetry and continued his conversation with Yevhen Malaniuk even after the author’s death. The aim of this sketch is to describe the reception of Yevhen Malaniuk’s writing evidenced in Józef Łobodowski’s journalistic and literary-critical texts published in the Parisian “Kultura”. This reception is the result of the contacts between these authors, which took place in the second half of the 1930s. In this article tries to indicate its key points, strategies for constructing arguments, and show its specificity as well as describe its significance in the processes of shaping the Polish-Ukrainian dialogue in the pages of the journal edited by Jerzy Giedroyc and the modernization of Polish-Ukrainian relations. In the reception of the Polish author, he was not so much a multicultural creator, but a poet of ideas and emotions focused on “awakening national conscience” and identity reflection among his compatriots.
