Summary/Abstract: The rapid cultural transformation of the countryside in Poland weakened the previous rural culture, but the inhabitants of peasant origin have preserved to some extent the core values constituting the former cultural identity. New ideas and behaviours become innovations when they are in line with the core values of the given culture. The influx of urban to rural migrants can carry innovation, but only under certain conditions, and its extent is usually limited.
