U „građanskom ratu sećanja” ovih dana je na nov način oživljen Sarajevski atentat. Okvir je ostao tanato-politički, ali se više ne eksploatiše samožrtvovanje Principa nego smrt Ferdinanda. Ko je odgovoran za to što su mladobosanci od tiranoubica postali teroristi? Svi oni u regionu koji strepe od jugoslovenstva i svi oni iz okruženja koji žele da rasterete vlastite nacije od imperijalističke odgovornosti za klanicu Prvog svetskog rata. Da li će oni uveriti javnost da su atentatori bili teroristi? Verovatno hoće zato što Princip danas nema valjanog advokata. Srušene su one strukture koje su Principa iznedrile i koje su ga docnije opravdano heroizovale. Država Jugoslavija je Principu s razlogom dizala spomenike i po njemu imenovala ulice. Danas nikakva kohorta blistavih istoričara ne može odbraniti Principa zato što nema južnoslovenske države kao ostvarenja mutnog ideala koji je vodio mladobosance. A što se rečena država danas više shvata kao iluzija ili kao tamnica to su veće šanse da Princip o neslavnom jubileju bude stigmatizovan kao terorista.

In order to make the thorough mendacity of Putin's rhetoric about "Ukraine as a State of Neo-Nazis" fully evident, CEEOL is offering the Ukrainian Jewish journal ”Ї“ as the strongest possible proof of a habit of "modern Ukrainian and world intellectual thought". The NGO "Ї", an independent cultural organization founded in the late 1980's in L'viv, focuses on modern Ukrainian and world intellectual thought. It offers periodic forums for discussion of issues concerning Ukraine and, among others, Europe, Russia, post-Byzantium, the Muslim Renaissance. It analyzes the current situation in order to develop future socio-political strategies. The organization also publishes "Ї", a quarterly journal dealing with European and Ukrainian issues in politics, philosophy, and culture. It also examines the relationship of Ukrainians with Russians, Poles, Austrians, and Jews and places Ukraine in a modern geopolitical sphere that can further Ukraine's identity as a modern state.

The book, which is a biographical dictionary, is devoted to students of Lithuanian origin from the University of Dorpat in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The basic problem is that of separating Poles from Lithuanians in the period from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. An additional problem is the ambiguity of the term "Lithuanian" at that time. For there were two different concepts: Historical Lithuanian and Ethnic Lithuanian. These differ in many respects, mainly social, territorial, historical, ethnic. In the approach used by the author of this book, historical Lithuanians included such famous people as Stanislaw Cat Mackiewicz, his brother Józef Mackiewicz, Melchior Wańkowicz, Czesław Miłosz or Józef Piłsudski, alongside many others. In terms of ethnicity, all these mentioned were not of Polish but of Lithuanian or Ruthenian origin. The individuals considered themselves Lithuanians in a historical sense, but ultimately chose a Polish national consciousness. In this publication, both notions – Pole and Lithuanian – are used in a narrow sense, limited only to a person's national consciousness. Therefore, a Pole or a Lithuanian is a person who consciously and publicly expressed his or her national consciousness, whether Polish or Lithuanian. Such a situation was encountered only from the very end of the 19th century until Yuriev University closed in 1918.

Tadeusz Mazowiecki (1927-2013), the first non-communist prime minister of Poland after the Second World War, was undoubtedly a major figure of Polish political life of the second half of the twentieth century. This has spurred the initiative to compile a multi-volume edition of Mazowiecki’s scattered writings and documents connected with him, which would encompass the entirety of his time as a social and political activist. This volume, concerning Tadeusz Mazowiecki in the period of his premiership, comprises two parts. The first contains texts and documents from 1989-1990, the period when Mazowiecki headed the government or immediately before. The second part is a selection of later interviews and reckoning articles: until the end of his life, Tadeusz Mazowiecki would explain the decision he had made as the prime minister, defending them, sometimes by revealing their hitherto unknown circumstances. Mazowiecki’s government laid foundations for a new Polish statehood – in a country devastated economically and politically by almost half a century of communist rule. It transitioned Poland from authoritarianism to democracy, and its economy from inefficient systemic poverty to free market. These reforms were not perfect, but they were revolutionary, though implemented in an evolutionary fashion. The fifteen months of Mazowiecki’s government proved enough to begin strategic changes in all areas of Polish life, changes that would be continued afterwards. They were not enough, however, for all these changes to be completed under Mazowiecki’s government – even though it is this government that was blamed for the errors and mistakes of transition, not its critics and successors. Tadeusz Mazowiecki was a man who attached great importance to the world of values. He perceived politics as acting for the sake of the common good. Today this no longer is a feature associated with politicians. This is all the more reason to offer a reminder that there was a time when politics could be done differently, and that this time was not that long ago.

This anniversary volume offers personal accounts from 12 scholars from Germany, Poland as well as the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Lithuania, employed at the German Historical Institute in Warsaw in various times over the period of the Institute’s 30 years of operation. The authors are unanimous: changing the point of view in the course of the research projects realized at the Institute was an enriching experience. They write about dialogical thinking, sharpening their intercultural competences, and new research contexts. Future involvements have often shown the Warsaw point of view to be both valid and fruitful.

Karel Engliš started writing his memoirs in 1925, when he was 45 years old, and he worked on them intermittently until the end of his life in 1961. This resulted in the creation of several comprehensive thematic collections. It is therefore not a classic biography. However, this is what makes the book unique and special. It allows us to witness how Engliš dealt with different subjects over the years, and what he considered necessary to comment on, to record. The book provides the reader with an opportunity to recognize Engliš’s keen observational talent and extraordinary memory. Despite a gap of decades, Karel Engliš can describe events and personalities in such detail, as if he experienced or saw them just yesterday.From these texts written almost forty years ago, the reader will be struck by Engliš’s defining character traits: directness, truthfulness. He himself writes: ‘I speak the truth of what I think, no matter what wrath I may bring down upon myself. That's how I did it for the whole 80 years’. His kindness, tolerance, extraordinary diligence, well-organized thoughts and sense of humour are moving and impressive.
