Summary/Abstract: The article discusses cultural aspects of generating footnotes in literary translation. Its first part is devoted to footnotes status and its three categories: neutrality, innocence and lack of meaning. The second part of the article is a contrastive analysis of footnotes in Polish and Russian translation of the French novel The Map and the Territory [La Carte et le Territoire] by Michel Houellebecq focusing in particular on antroponym-related footnotes.
