Summary/Abstract: This text discusses the relationship between Polish classical philologists, representing the Jan Kazimierz University in Lwów (today Lviv in Ukraine) and the Polish Philological Society (especially Professor Ryszard Ganszyniec) and Andriy S. Kocevalov, a class philologist and historian of antiquity from Soviet Ukraine, specifi cally from Kharkiv. These contacts resulted in the publication of scientific works by Kocevalov in Poland in the interwar period. The author’s considerations shed a new light on the issue of scientific contacts between scholars of antiquity from Poland and Soviet Ukraine between the First and Second World Wars, although they obviously do not exhaust the problem. In a broader research perspective, they are also a contribution to the analysis of intricate and difficult Polish–Soviet scientifi c relations in the interwar period, and at the same time they clearly prove that despite the existence of political barriers, cooperation between scholars from both countries could develop, although obviously in a rather limited dimension.
