The subject of the article is the history of the development of Russian cultural studies (RCS) in Krakow, initiated at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The collective achievement created by scientists with mainly philological backgrounds over the years have been enriched and expanded by content from other scientific disciplines. This ultimately formed a multidisciplinary face of RCS. In the article, the most important figures and publications are mentioned that contributed to building a significant curriculum of Russian cultural studies in Krakow. The specificity of the curriculum, its multidimensionality and humanistic-social approach make it a rich reservoir of knowledge which helps one to understand culture in its Russian form.
