Bezludnaya ballada (2006) is a comprehensive collection of Russian translations of the major Polish modernist author Bolesław Leśmian. The book is equipped with graphic works by important Polish artists who were Leśmian’s contemporaries. However, the potential connected to such a double cultural transfer is underplayed by the editor and publisher, Andrei Bazilevsky. The aim of the article is thus to examine whether the volume is indeed composed as a meaningful bi-semiotic complex, among other things, whether particular illustrative choices are felicitous, and to what extent the recipients have a chance to taste the Polish modernism in a double dose.
