Mitrate Jzef Ulicki delivered at the unveiling of St. Vladimir Monument in Gdask, and an article by the late Andrzej Zbierski on the origins of the Kievan Rus' (fi rst published 1988).The editors have not updated the notes to the latter; the essay is actually a survey and is mainly an archival reference today.The book opens with an article by Wodzimierz Mokry, dealing with Vladimir's Baptism in the historical and theological context.The author unrestrainedly passes from the mediaeval theological issues pertinent to Kievan Rus' to the Solidarity movement.In the following paper Pawe Sekua referring to the associations between Gdask and Rus' in the Middle Ages mostly focuses on trade routes, and less on the relations between the two hubs.Agnieszka Gronek discusses the Vladimirian iconography in Ukrainian seventeenth-century art, pointing to the fact that no canonical representations related to the Saint developed at that time in the region.Serhij Holovaenko recapitulates the Ukrainian Bible study tradition, with particular emphasis on the contribution from Peter Mohyla.Olena Matuek analyses Baroque texts describing the Baptism of Rus'.Zbigniew Opacki presents the place and role of the Orthodoxy in Russia in Marian Zdziechowski's thought.Magdalena Nowak deals with a historical period closer to our time, portraying the Metropolitan Andrej eptycky; Aleksandr Lipatov examines in his study the historical policy of present-day Russia.Igor Haagida deals (his article being an introduction to the problem) with the lay Greek Catholics movement and its signifi cance for the Greek Catholic Church in the late years of the People's Republic of Poland.The volume is concluded with Tadeusz Stegner's essay on Polish-Ukrainian coexistence after the Second World War.The book in question cannot be easily categorised.It testifi es to a thorough awareness of the most recent
