Abstract
The article analyzes the numerous polonisms used in V.Krestovsky's dilogy “Bloody pouf”. The dilogy contains not only words, but also whole phrases in Polish, most often of a hybrid Polish-Russian character. Often the titles of the chapters of the novel are presented in Polish. Also included are Polish prayers and songs. Polonisms refer to different parts of speech. Most of them are common nouns (19 lexical and semantic groups) and proper nouns. There are analyzed ways of adapting polonisms for understanding them by Russian-speaking readers. The function of transmitting the local specificity and national marking of the Poles is combined in Krestovsky's novel with the ideological one: showing the Poles as the inspirers and organizers of the uprising of 1861-1863 (“bloody pouf”) , that is , the enemies of Russian Empire.
