About the Journal

History of the Journal 
The journal Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Litteraria Rossica, affiliated with the Department of Russian Literature and Culture and the Department of Linguistics at the University of Lodz’s Institute of Russian Studies, continues the traditions of two Russian studies journals: Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Litteraria Rossica and Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Linguistica Rossica. 
 
The journal Folia Litteraria Rossica, part of the Acta Universitatis Lodziensis series, was revived after a decade-long hiatus in 2010, and was affiliated with the Department of Russian Literature and Culture. Folia Linguistica Rossica, affiliated with the Department of Linguistics, was established in 2003 with the support of the Faculty of Philology and approval of the University of Lodz Publishing Council. Starting in 2025, the editorial teams will publish a unified journal under a single title.

The journal aims to present original, multifaceted, and creative studies on the Slavic world, thereby broadening current research and knowledge. We are particularly interested in innovative interpretative approaches and groundbreaking research methodologies. In addition to scholarly articles, we publish reviews of academic works, as well as reports from conferences and academic sessions. Articles are accepted in Russian, Polish, English, Ukrainian, and Belarusian, ensuring recognition in academic communities across Europe and beyond. 
 
The editorial board also invites authors to publish works that include research data documentation, such as data articles describing datasets, or traditional scholarly articles with research data documentation as supplementary material. Guidelines for sharing research data can be found here: data papers. 
 
Articles should be submitted through the University of  Lodz journal platform. 
 
Additionally, the journal features information on university-based scientific and didactic activities. Our goal is also to disseminate views on Russian philology and, more broadly, East Slavic studies, while fostering the integration of Russian studies scholars from both Polish and international academic centres
