Summary/Abstract: The works of the Russian philosopher Vladimir Soloviev were published (mostly in France) in the nineteenth century. In those works he introduced his views on the universal Church and the place of Russia in the world. His views encountered both critical and positive responses. Positive reaction came from the Polish intellectual elite of the time, centered around Jagiellonian University. Those thinkers discussed the views of the Russian philosopher in the journal “Przegląd Powszechny”. In this article we will analyze the extensive review of count Stanislaw Tarnowski, titled “Głos sumienia z Rosyi”. Above all, Tarnowski criticizes Soloviev’s account of the mission and calling of Russia, although he expresses a positive attitude to Soloviev’s interpretation of the history of the Church.
