The present review article explores the question of whether the post-Soviet Ukrainian historians have shown any interest in the history of liberties in their own country, and if so, what have they discovered on the subject. Firstly, I discuss the way in which Ukrainian historiography re-evaluates the country’s original ‘reunification’ with Russia during Khmelnitsky’s uprising (1648-1654). The uprising is today interpreted as the foundation of an independent hetman state. However, the main change has occurred in the evaluation of what is called Hetman Orlik’s constitution of 1710. It is considered today as the culmination of independent Ukrainian development. It has achieved cult status and is regarded as the first constitution, which introduced the separation of powers and safeguarded the Cossacks’ liberties. The critical interpretation of early modern history by Natalya Yakovenko is appreciated here; because she put early modern Ukraine back into the Polish context, she also developed a specific realistic method of history-writing and critically evaluated the impact of the Cossack wars. The Rzeczpospolita’s place in Ukrainian history has been further defended in the works of Mikola Krikun and Oleksandr Vynnichenko from the University of Lviv. However, it is in the realm of constitutional history that a fixed rights-centred historical narrative has been developed. In the last section, we recall some topics of the era after the loss of independence which are neglected in the Ukrainian research. These are the codification of 1728-1743 and the philosophical work of Yakiv Kozelskiy connected to the Legislative Commission of 1767.

The protagonist of the book "V Boží režii: František Radkovský v rozhovoru s Tomášem Kutilem" [In God’s Direction: František Radkovský in Conversation with Tomáš Kutil] is the Roman Catholic priest and the bishop František Radkovský (born 1939). From 1990 to 1993 he was the auxiliary bishop of Prague and then, until 2016, the first bishop of the newly established diocese of Pilsen. The reviewer first situates the publication in the context of other biographical interviews with contemporary Czech church figures and reflects on their significance for modern church history and for historiography in general. He finds it in the genre of testimony, not only on individual destinies, but also in the epochs, the Church, society and the ruling regimes. The review then discusses the interview and introduces the readers to František Radkovský’s life story as well as to his insights into some of the issues Radkovský was confronted with as a priest and as a church dignitary.

The monograph ‘Discriminated against or responsible for their plight? The Roma in Bulgaria and African Americans in the United States’ (University Press ‘St. Kliment Ohridski’, 2021) is a valuable work exploring the cultural identity of two minorities – the Roma in Bulgaria and the African Americans in the United States. The book includes a historical context of the origin and settlement of the two minorities, a theoretical approach to the research problem, enriched with the results of field work in neighborhoods in cities in Bulgaria and in the USA with the respective predominant minority group. The media image of the Bulgarian Roma community is also analyzed
