Summary/Abstract: The article presents the contents of Bohuš Nosák-Nezabudov’s travel journal, From Unknown Land to Ľ. The author describes his impressions of the trip to Zakarpattia Ruthenia. The double perspective in seeing this land and its inhabitants (the idyllic space collides here with the space of degraded idyll) corresponds to the duality of the traveling subject himself, who is torn between adopting an attitude of a sensitive observer who shapes the legend of Russia as a forgotten and unknown land, or an emissary who came there with a certain ideological approach and awakening enthusiasm.
