This survey was based on Sir John Maynard's report undertaken at the invitation of the Anglo-Soviet Public Relations Association. Sir John's death in December 1943 prevented him from completing it. The Editor was asked to prepare for publication such parts of Sir John's manuscript as had clearly been given final form and to supplement those passages with additional and connective material, bringing the account of events up to the spring of 1944. The Editor was a professor of Russian at the University of Birmingham and Lecturer in Slavonic Studies at the University of Oxford. This book is an able summary of 600 years of Russo-Polish relations--from the occupation of Lvov in 1340 to the Yalta Conference in 1944. The book is remarkable for its temperate and judicious statement of facts in understandable form regarding one of the most hotly controversial problems of international affairs. Although everyone may not agree with the interpretation, all will recognize the special usefulness of the book at this particular time. Supplementing Professor Konovalov's narrative are seven maps and about 50 pages of documents dealing with the high points of Russo-Polish relations beginning in the seventeenth century and concluding with the text of the Yalta declaration on Polish sovereignty.

Polish-Russian relations entered a new phase following the fall of communism, 1989-1993. Since then, Polish-Russian relations have at times seen both improvement and deterioration. According to a 2013 BBC World Service poll, 19 percent of Poles view Russia's influence positively while 49 percent express a negative view. However, since the Russian annexation of Crimea, over 60-80% Poles are worried over the future conflict with Russia, given the fact Russia maintains control in Kaliningrad Oblast.…
