Kazimierz Klemens Waliszewski fu uno storico polacco che si dedicò principalmente alla storia russa. Le sue opere dettagliate e accademiche coprono quasi tre secoli di storia russa, da Ivan il Terribile fino alla fine del XIX secolo. Waliszewski dedicò oltre trent'anni alla ricerca in archivi e biblioteche in tutta Europa, presentando le sue scoperte in opere scritte prevalentemente in francese. Oltre alla storia russa, esplorò anche la storia polacca, difendendo il passato del suo paese contro interpretazioni ostili russe e tedesche.
