Summary/Abstract: The two decades of the political coexistence of Carpathian Ruthenia with the Czech Lands can certainly be described in many ways, most of which would imply the considerable changes the area underwent during this period. A comparison of its beginning and end offers a historical shortcut: While in 1918–1919 the land at the foot of the Carpathians was deeply affected by great historical shifts and its representatives were as fully aware of this as they could be, twenty years later the Carpathian leaders under the same conditions were intoxicated by the illusion that they themselves and their people were contributing to the revolutionary transformation of the European order. They were soon to be tragically disenchanted.
