Summary/Abstract: This article presents lexical borrowings from the Russian language, excerpted from TygodnikIlustrowany, a commonly known Warsaw-based weekly. The research analysis was conductedon the words excerpted from the earliest editions of this weekly published over one year, issuedin the Republic of Poland, beginning with 1918 when the country regained independence. The authorof the study aimed to investigate whether a long-term influence of the Russian language on Polish,particularly in the period of annexations, manifested itself in the Polish language of the first partof the 20th century. The author collected 54 Russicisms, evident in 216 examples. In the collectedlinguistic material Russian lexis is distinctly dominating. Its application in texts about Russia is fullyjustified and unavoidable. The lexis consists of historisms, Sovietisms and other words referringto Russian reality, such as: cerkiew or dziesięcina, that entered Polish vocabulary.
