Summary/Abstract: In this ethno-historic study we deal with another category of documents contains Czechoslovak contemporary history having unpublished information about the socio-economic and cultural situation of the Central European Slavic population. It is clear, that there are significant differences between Czechoslovakian official documents and the Romanian tourist or journalist point of view. There are several and interesting differences in the manner how the travelers or journalist had understood historic events and how they were really interpret or misinterpret it. One the other side each author has a different approach about this very interesting domain concerning the image of the others. Therefore each person had refined and reinterpreted the information because of its various structures, but for us before deciding how to draw right conclusions, we need to examine the differences between these types of documents. Some Romanian officials like journalist opinions and some of private document interpretations were under the influence of Sokolist cultural movement. This type of political ideology had an enormous influence on the Czechoslovakian political consciousness-raising behavior. We have to tackle with prudence this kind of information because the range of subjects concerning within these travel journals in a broad sense of 20th century national states unity ideology is enormous. We hope that we had succeeded in our attempt concerning the extraction and analyzing of some essential ethnologic and historic information from these diaries or conferences. The benefits of interpretation from such a very different range of information presented in this type of documents must be linked by the researching method itself.
