the Lithuanian poet Edvardas Jokūbas Daukša emphasized that while Syrokomla was influenced by Polish culture, he was a Lithuanian poet, closest to Lithuania after Adam Mickiewicz. Teofil Lenartowicz wrote a memorial poem on his death referring to him as a "lirnik Litewski" (Lithuanian lyricist). His works were often translated into Lithuanian and Belarusian languages. In modern Belarus, he is being praised for depicting the life of 19th century Belarus and for his ethnographic research of Belarusians. In his publications, Syrokomla supported the Belarusian language and the Belarusian theatre plays by the playwright Vincent Dunin-Marcinkievič. In Belarus, there are streets named after W. Syrokomla (vulica Uladzislava Syrakomli) in Minsk, Hrodna and in smaller towns Navahrudak, Niasvizh, Pinsk, Vaukavysk, Maladzechna and Pruzhany. In Smolhava a school is named after Syrokomla. In Warsaw's residential district Bródno (city district Warszawa-Targówek) there are two streets dedicated to the poet: Ludwik Kondratowicz St and Władysław Syrokomla St. In Vilnius, a Polish-language school of the Polish minority in Lithuania is named after him.
