Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present images of Russia made by young Polish documentaryfilmmakers during the workshop project Russia–Poland. New gaze, which appears as the voice in thediscussion about the mutual perception of Poles and Russians. Representations of Russia presented byPolish directors seems to me interesting in the context of film history and literary tradition, fragmentsof observed reality and its cinematic interpretation. As the result, we receive the record of relationshipwith the neighbor which involves a lot of contexts and is negotiated in tension between stereotypeand the attempt of breaking it.
