On scholarly information — Rossica and Sovietica in the bibliography of Polish writings. Bibliographical database for the years 1862–2015

Abstract

The following article contains the bibliography of Polish literature focusing on Russian issues (Rossica), as well as on socio-historical Soviet issues (Sovietica) correlated with them. The presented register considers 349 bibliographic units altogether, all of which were printed in the years 1862–2015. It has been divided into two parts. The first part consists of a list of 22 lexical-bibliographical dictionaries in the field of Russian studies, the second part consists of a list of 327 bibliographic and biobibliographic works.

The presented lists of bibliographic materials constitute an attempt to fill in the existing gaps in the field of Polish bibliographic lexicography. The Author’s intention is also to make an attempt to provide a bibliographic summary of the history of the research of Polish-Russian relations in different areas of knowledge, which has a tradition of over one hundred and fifty years. The study is of an interdisciplinary nature. The created bibliographic database is to serve as a useful compendium for the Russian studies.
