The “Systematics of Polish Soils” (SgP, 2011) is very close to WRB and “Soil Taxonomy”. The morphological characteristics of the soils, investigated in the field, rather than soil genesis are diagnostic criteria. The main provisions of the new “Systematics”, properties of soils of higher taxonomic levels have been reviewed. Some diagnostic horizons, which were not borrowed from other classifications, have been described. We tried to find equivalents in the Ukrainian classification for some soils names. The correlation of Poland soils and WRB has been analyzed. Key words: Systematics of Polish Soils, classification, order, soil type, diagnostic horizon, WRB.
