Materials from a conference organised in the ICC in 1996. The statements of the participants recealed the following sets of problems: development of national consciousness in both countries; the shape and social range of already developed national identity, including the phenomenon of xenophobia; the nobility as part of a cultural legacy as a value, and as a barrier to building a European consciousness; folk culture and authentic folklore: the dangerous process of sidelining them on the one hand and thiur genuine culture-forming role on the other; the pedigree of the inteligentsia; the cultural legacy from the years of totalitarian subjugation; our common place in the culture of the new, integrated Europe.
