Аннотация:Статья посвящена становлению аксиологиологических приоритетов польской воинской элиты. Этнически поляки относятся к славянским народам, что должно было бы способствовать их сближению с географически близкой Русью/Россией. Но в цивилизационном плане уже в Средние века они идентифицировали себя как бастион западного мира. В русле проблематики двусторонних российско-польских взаимоотношений видится важным рассмотрение истоков формирования ценностно-мировоззренческих установок польской воинской элиты, учитывая особую роль шляхты и магнатов в польском государстве. Автор уделяет приоритетное внимание «Хронике» Галла Анонима как наиболее раннему историческому источнику, близкому по жанру к западноевропейским «chansons de geste», то есть рыцарской литературе. Это позволяет сравнить идеальные модели польского и западноевропейского рыцарства и проанализировать роль западной традиции в формировании менталитета польской элиты.
Abstract. The article is devoted to the formation of the axiological priorities of the Polish military elite. Ethnically, the Poles belong to the Slavic peoples, which would contribute to rapprochement with the geographically close Russia. But in civilization terms, already in the Middle Ages, they identified themselves as a bastion of the Western world. In line with the problems of bilateral Russian-Polish relations, it seems important to consider the origins of the formation of value-ideological attitudes of the Polish military elite, given the special role of the nobility and the magnates in the Polish state.

The author gives priority to the "Chronicle" of Galla Anonym as the earliest historical source, which is close in genre to the Western European "chansons de geste", that is, knightly literature. This allows us to compare the ideal models of Polish and Western European knighthood and analyze the role of the Western tradition in the formation of the mentality of the Polish elite.The author gives priority to the "Chronicle" of Galla Anonym as the earliest historical source, which is close in genre to the Western European "chansons de geste", that is, knightly literature.
