Particularly interesting topics include: history of the eastern territories of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the nationalities inhabiting them (especially Poles, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Lithuanians, Latvians, Jews, Armenians and others), issues of cultural borderland, multicultural heritage of Kresy (monuments of literature, art), memory studies in the context of Kresy, reception of the Borderlands in culture (literature, art, political thought). Besides the journal publishes editions of interesting historical sources related to this part of Central and Eastern Europe, polemics, review articles and reviews of current studies, as well as reports on important scientific and cultural events related to the subject of the journal.
