Abstract
Tadeusz Miciński (1873 – 1918), a Polish modernist writer, spent time in the Balkans as a special correspondent for the Warsaw weekly “Świat”. He spent several weeks in Serbia (Belgrade) and then in Bulgaria (Sofia) from December 1912 to February 1913. This stay resulted in several lengthy articles. The themes explored in these articles were continued in the article Поляки и Болгары, published in Russia (Moscow) in 1915. During World War I, the writer repeatedly addressed the Bulgarian and Serbian issue. As a supporter of the Entente, he spoke positively of Serbia, occupied by Austrian and Bulgarian forces, but negatively of Bulgaria, which he held up as a model for Poles until the Second Balkan War.
Key words: Poland, Bulgaria, Serbia, World War I, Slavdom, Polish–Bulgarian literary connections
