Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Litteraria Rossica is an interdisciplinary, international periodical affiliated with the Institute of East European Studies at the Faculty of Philology, University of Lodz (Poland). The journal accepts original, previously unpublished manuscripts devoted to Eastern Europe and its history from the Middle Ages to the present day. Articles should address East Slavic cultures, literatures, and languages, as well as the non‑Slavic cultures of the eastern part of the European continent – from the Baltic region in the north to the Caucasus and the basins of the Black and Caspian Seas in the south. The journal also welcomes studies exploring the perception of Eastern Europe in other parts of the world.

The journal publishes materials in the following fields:

  • Literary Studies
  • Linguistics
  • Translation Studies
  • Language Teaching (Glottodidactics)
  • Interdisciplinary Humanities (including Cultural Studies, Anthropology, History, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Ethnology, and Art History).

The journal aims to present original, multifaceted, methodologically sound, and ideologically unbiased studies based on extensive research that contribute to our knowledge of various aspects of Eastern European cultures. The Editorial Board is particularly interested in articles applying innovative research approaches and methodologies. In addition to scholarly articles, the journal also includes a review section and provides space for reports from academic conferences and other scholarly events.

Articles may be submitted in English (preferred), Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, or German to facilitate the journal’s international reception.

Issue 19/2026 will not have a specific overarching theme. We encourage submissions within all the thematic areas outlined above.

Authors are also invited to submit works containing research data and documentation (data articles) describing datasets. Guidelines for sharing research data are available here: data papers.
