Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the articles from the Czechoslovak press from the years 1945-1948, published in the Borderland, presenting the ideological project of a united Slavdom and its cultural and political role in Europe and in the world. This issue encompasses a range of other specific questions, including the role of the USSR in the community of Slavs, the place of Czechoslovakia, the demands on the correction of Czechoslovakia’s borders, the incorporation of Lusatia, as well as narrations about Poland and Poles. A special group of texts are those comparing Polish Recovered Territories to the Czech Borderland. The author emphasizes that their role was not only to show the similarities, but also, though not explicitly, to enhance the value of the solutions implemented in Czechoslovakia in the Borderland.
