In this study we analyse some aspects of Gheorghe Taşcă’s activity as Extraordinary Envoy and Plenipotentiary Minister of Romania to Germany. The focus is on Taşcă’s analysis of the economic and political situation in the Weimar Republic, as well as on his contribution to Romanian-German economic relations. We also want to observe how a head of legation from outside the diplomatic corps, as was Taşcă, but with expertise in the economic field, managed to face the challenges of a diplomatic mission that was difficult to manage.

The Derok family from Dubrovnik was one of many who moved to Belgrade in the middle of the 19th century and accepted the Serbian cultural and spiritual identity. Captain Jovan Derok, born in France and raised in Slovenia, was also one of those representatives of the Yugoslav elite who did not separate cosmopolitan, civic and national values. From 1941, this officer joined the national (Ravnogorski) movement of resistance in Serbia and participated in all the key events during the uprising against the Germans and, later, the civil war between the national and communist forces. Through the fate of Jovan Derok, the tragic events that took place in the Serbian people during 1941: during the battles near Kraljevo, where still united rebel forces took part, he showed feats, and then reluctantly took part in the upcoming Chetnik and Partisan battles near Čačak. That is when the war legend about him was created. Sources say that Derok was one of the biggest opponents of the civil war in Serbia, but he was captured and killed by communist forces in the first days of the conflict. The legend of Derok was suppressed for decades, only to surface again during the 1990’s and, above all, through a folk song, revive the memory of the tragically killed commander.

A statistic of the period 1930-1939 has shown the presence of a significant number of hydraulic installations spread throughout this region.

Unfortunately none of the hydraulic installations we have looked at, has entered the patrimony of Bacau museum.

This study was devoted to the investigation of the case of the dissolution of the Kraków City Council in 1924 and the consequences resulting from this decision. After the death of the President of Kraków, Jan Kanty Federowicz, the supervisory authority (i.e. the voivode) decided to dissolve the City Council and appoint a government commissioner and a supervisory board. The commissioner was associated with the central government, while the members of the board mostly represented the ruling coalition. The councilors objected to this decision and appealed it to the Supreme Administrative Tribunal, which ultimately agreed with them. It was found that the voivode had issued the decision for dissolution in breach of the law.

The issue of disciplinary responsibility over judges is one of the key aspects of the functioning of the judiciary. This mechanism must remain a compromise between respecting a special status for judges based on their independence and their key role in the functioning of the state, versus the need to eliminate negative behaviors on their part. Such oversight in turn should lead to the building up of societal trust in the judiciary. The article is an attempt to present the issue of disciplinary proceedings against judges in the Second Polish Republic in the areas of the former Prussian territories.By presenting this issue from the perspective of substantive law, this article complements research already carried out in this area, the issue of the course of procedure in disciplinary proceedings having already been presented in a separate text. In this article, the author focuses on the issues regarding judge’s disciplinary misconduct and actual disciplinary punishments. The legal provisions were compared with the practice of their application, reconstructed on the basis of preserved archival files of judges, both personal and disciplinary.

From about 1923 onwards, two leaders of the Communist Party of Lithuania (CPL), Zigmas Aleksa-An-garietis and Vincas Mickevičius-Kapsukas, began to disagree on the tactics and direction of the party. In 1925–1926, because of the workload in the Comintern apparatus and the subsequent illness of V.Kapsukas, Z.Angarietis began to dominate in CPL matters and isolated V.Kapsukas from decision-making within the CPL and information pertaining to it. When V.Kapsukas recovered from his illness, he sought to recover his positions and wrote an appeal to the Comintern Executive Committee, asking the committee to resolve the conflict. Because of this, the conflict got more personal: both individuals started to gather supporters, initiating a power struggle for leadership positions, while the conflict itself, beginning with a disagreement about tactics, evolved into a personal matter. The Comintern formed a commission to resolve the conflict, but they took a balancing position: the commission wanted to maintain the status quo, but instead managed only to delay and not resolve the conflict.
