Instead of fueling hatred towards Germans and Russians - and she would have every right in the world to do that - or to lament over the evil fate of Poland, which was not the first time in history that it found itself between the Russian hammer and the German anvil (or vice versa), Poland Culture he thinks about the future of Poland, first of all, in relations with the "archenemies" and the biggest evildoers. Experience, therefore, that Serbia desperately lacks. Magazine Culture and the Polish Literary Institute in Paris offer not only signposts for a disoriented Serbia, but also tools with which political freedom can be installed
