By virtue of his education, his career as a lecture and his research interests, Ryszard Łużny was an expert in East Slavic and Polish literature. In his writings, he exhibited profound knowledge of Polish literature, beginning with Old Polish up to contemporary works. He was first to demonstrate the existence of such phenomena as common features of intellectual currents in Slavic writings and in West European trends, which are often considered distinct by specialists in the field. A significant portion of his research focused on intertextuality. He was able to make apt diagnoses of the cultural phenomena in contemporaneity and in the past.
This paper attempts to investigate the current relevance and significance of the work published by Prof. Ryszard Łużny in 1966, entitled Writers in the Kiyv-Mohyla Academy circle and their influence on Polish literature. This seminal work became an epistemological and axiological foundation for the author's own research, but also for his numerous students and followers, engaged in the investigations of the Polish-East-Slavic relations in the domains of culture and religion. Łużny's work is an example of an objective and ideologically unbiased, humanistic approach of a philologist and researcher of cultures to facts and to the ontological, axiological and historical truth they correspond with. Rejecting the theory of the paramount role of Polish culture in shaping the creative personalities of the writers – students of Kiyv-Mohyla Academy – R. Łużny proved that they were a first point of contact between the East-Slavic culture, mostly Russian, Poland and the West.

This article deals with Professor Ryszard Łużny's interests and research in Ukrainian studies. This Polish Slavist contributed hugely to the development of the Ukrainian studies on Baroque, particularly on the Polish-language Baroque poetry composed in Ukraine; also on the links between the Ukrainian Baroque with Western culture, including the Polish one. Professor Łużny's research was not recognized in the Soviet Ukraine, since the researcher kept a keen interest in the religious aspects of the Baroque literature. At present, Łużny's research is winning wide recognition among Ukrainian researchers.
