Visual culture, symbols and images present in both mentioned spaces create the context for interpreting and understanding the sings of collisions or peaceful meetings between different national cultures. In the real space borderland could be the good „laboratory” of cultural identity, ethnicity and group solidarity. The first part of this text deals with the above topics. The next part is focused on the answer to the question how the boundaries between nations and cultures can be constructed in the virtual space of the internet? This research is only an introduction to the future studies of the changes in mutual perception of cultures which have occurred lately due to the role of the Web in the public life.
