Abstract
This article analyses specific instances of cultural transfer between Poland and the Soviet Union during the early post-Stalin era. It investigates the magazine Polska, published in several languages, as a part of the Polish People’s Republic’s foreign cultural policy. Employing the framework of cultural transfer theory, this case study examines key aspects: the content disseminated within the target system via translations of the monthly Polska; the responses generated by this transferred product and the subsequent impact of its reception back in the source system. While acknowledging the clear centre-periphery dynamics, the most influential factors in this bilateral cultural exchange were the unpredictable nature of the Thaw in the Soviet Union and the pivotal role of cultural intermediaries in determining the transferred products’ content and form.
