The study focuses on the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic, when the Apostolic Nunciature in Prague was vacant and represented only by chargé d‘affaires, who were in charge of the Vatican embassy. During the interwar period this happened twice, in 1925–1928 and 1934–1935, in both cases for appeal of the Apostolic Nuncio to Rome. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Nunciature was headed by very able officials who analysed the political-religious situation in the country and informed the high Vatican circles about important events in Czechoslovakia. At the same time, they attended negotiations regarding the future Apostolic Nuncio to Prague. The Czech-Vatican relations were strained and significantly disturbed; in fact, the situation could have easily escalated into an open rupture. It is neverthlees owing to to the activity of the above-mentioned officalis that the Holy See and Czechoslovakia avoided a complete severance of diplomatic relations.

Two outstanding Catholic politicians, Jan Šrámek and Bohumil Stašek, members of the People’s Party, and their political activities in Czechoslovakia between the two world wars are examined and compared in the study. Their personal and political career reflects not only the peripeteia of the political and religious situation in the First Czechoslovak Republic, characterized by a strong influence of the secularization and anti-Catholic wave existing in the country, but also the regional differences between Bohemia and Moravia. Their common denominator consisted in the efforts aimed at improving the negative view of Catholicism in the nation’s eyes. In spite of these common efforts, however, each of them chose to follow a different way in practical political work. Šrámek compressed the Catholic political program in the narrow limits of short-time and often defensive solutions, and was able to achieve a compromise even with his ideological opponents, which helped the Party score important political points, but it was also a target of criticism by some Catholic circles. Stašek differed from Šrámek by his endeavor to formulate clear ideological concepts and rather offensive political ideas that were often based on the Pope’s revival program for the Church. These features gave later rise to ideological differences between the People’s Party Members and resulted in a political and power struggle inside that party of political Catholicism.

This study deals with the formation of the Czech bar scene, with an emphasis on the development of institutions for the first bar of the new Czechoslovak Republic, when the emergence of new republics created unprecedented possibilities for the realization of the post‑war feelings and so called “thirst”, which rose to a new wave of hedonism associated with gradually increasing standard of living. It also outlines the bar environment, personnel issues, forms of promotion bar, the normal operation of bar, even in the international position and its capture from a professional point of view. Prague was chosen for a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of the bar, which — after the war — finds itself on the way to becoming a modern city. It is therefore no wonder that the bar formed a natural part of one historical era as a social device in which environment is reflected zeitgeist.

Studie pojednává o formování české barové scény s důrazem na vývoj instituce baru za první Československé republiky, jejíž vznik vytvořil dříve nevídané možnosti pro realizování poválečného cítění včetně tak zvané „žízně“, s níž se zvedala nová vlna požitkářství související s postupně se zvyšující životní úrovní obyvatelstva. Autor v něm nastiňuje prostředí baru, personální otázky, formy propagace baru, jeho běžný provoz, ba dokonce postavení na poli mezinárodním a jeho zachycení z odborného hlediska. Pro komplexní rozbor fenoménu baru byl vybrán příklad Prahy, která se po válce pozvolna stávala moderním velkoměstem.164 American Bar byl proto přirozenou součástí jedné dějinné éry jako společenské zařízení, v jehož prostředí se do jisté míry odrážel duch doby.

After the creation of Czechoslovakia it is possible to track the decrease in interest in Russia, for, with, the exception of the chairman of the National Democratic Party, Karel Kramář and his supporters, it disappeared from Czech thought as a traditional fixed point. However, nationally-motivated interest in Russia returned to Czech thinking in the 1930s in connection with Adolf Hitler’s accession to the chancellery and the growing pressure from Nazi Germany. The traditional image of Russia as a “massive oak tree” and guarantor of security for the Czechoslovak state that had become popular again was based upon numerous more or less misleading sources. This study attempts to demonstrate that what was at stake here were not only results of the activity of Czechoslovak diplomacy in the 1930s, the activities of leftist intellectuals and their appurtenant organizations or the action of communist or even directly Soviet propaganda, but also Czech Russophilia.
