What we today call bribery, long enough in human history represents one of the main ways people interact. In pre-statist era exchange of gifts in any combination: the gift the gift or a gift for the service, for the gift of obedience or protection, for the desired action or inaction was beneficial relationship between people are compensated. Even the gods of our ancestors, for that matter, and our faithful contemporaries have done and continue to make offerings, anticipating them their request for forgiveness or beneficence. Such compensatory exchange of gifts between individuals and entire nations was a way to organize and was the pillar of the model of non-market economy and the social interaction of primitive society. Gifts fastened kinship rela- tions, brotherhood, vassalage and domination. And vassal, bringing gifts to his master as a sign of devotion, could count on responses gifts, sometimes in excess of material value to their offerings, as was the case, for example, in ancient China. Often the gift largely characterized not so much by the person to whom he raised as generosity and nobility of the donor.

The tradition of importing oriental horses from the Middle East to Poland dates back to the beginnings of the modern period. The mission undertaken in 1583 by Jakub Podlodowski (1548–1583), King Stephen Bathory’s sub-equerry, is the first widely known project of this type. This paper aims to put in order the existing knowledge on the Podlodowski’s trip of 1583, as well as on his previous trip to Turkey in 1577. Such project seems necessary in view of inconsistencies found in the literature on the subject. The two expeditions to the East deserve much more attention than they have received so far, since the purchase of horses seems to be just an excuse for behind-the-scenes diplomatic talks and intelligence activities forming part of the preparations for the already developed war plans against Turkey.

Polskie Towarzystwo Statystyczne (PTS) została założone w Krakowie w 1912 roku. Historia Wielkopolski w PTS zaczęła się w 1915 roku, kiedy wydano opracowania pt. Statystyka Polski (pierwszy rocznik statystyczny Polski w granicach przedrozbiorowych, uwzględniającym dane ze wszystkich trzech zaborów). W artykule przedstawiono osoby, które tworzyły organizację i jej przywódców. Temat omówiono wyróżniając okres międzywojenny (1915-1939), II wojnę światową (1939-1945), okres powojenny (1945-1981) i okres po reaktywacji PTS w 1981 roku.

Except for Vladimír Goněc’s studies on Hubert Ripka’s activities in the aftermath of the WWII or Jan Wszelaki’s group proposal for an Eastern European Schuman Plan, neither Czech nor Slovak historiography paid significant attention to the concepts of Central and Eastern European integration developed by the exile circles in the Western countries after 1945. A striking point here is that these plans, in most cases, did not originate from the respective national exile groups, but were rather a result of interplay between these. Furthermore, the mutual interchange had to be often managed from without by the “unbiased” mediators. These used to be the sympathetic Western politicians, political entrepreneurs or donors. At the end of 1940s and in early 1950s, the Central and Eastern European Commission of the European Movement was one of the most important platforms for such an interaction. While focusing on the Commission’s activities, this article outlines its institutional linkages and composition as well as draws attention to the plan of Central and Eastern European integration worked out within this body at the turn of 1950s.

Early 1912 Cracow statisticians and economists have projected to establish a separate society of Polish statisticians. On 9th April 1912 Austrian authorities have approved the establishment of the Polish Statistical Society (PTS). The main objective of the PTS should have been the preparation of statistical publications that provide coverage over Polish territory at that time belonging to the three partitioning powers. President of PTS was prof. dr. Juliusz Leo, the Mayor of Cracow. The paper discusses the establishment circumstances of the PTS in Cracow, its statute and the effects of activity until the outbreak of World War I and the first president's person, professor of treasuring in the Jagiellonian University, a prominent mayor and an important Polish politician in those days.

Contrary to common opinion, philosophy’s relations with the comic are profound and complex, yet the nature and significance of this relationship is surprisingly under studied. I have found that the relations that philosophy entertains with the comic can be conceptualized in ten traditions, eight dating from antiquity and two from modern and postmodern times. I trace these traditions from antiquity through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and modern times. I explain how the view that philosophy is inimical to the comic originated and invite the reader to re-evaluate philosophy’s attitude towards the comic.

Language, Place And History In Belarusian Literature

80%
EN
Belarusian literature is currently written under difficult circumstances, which, however, neither stimulates nor restricts its development. In fact it flourishes both in metro¬politan and provincial Belarus as well as abroad. The much repressed language, after a chequered history, survives mainly in literature and in the use by mainly young nationally conscious Belarusians for whom it may act as a socio-political statement. The history of Belarus as the main successor state of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is inalienable, though disputed and minimized by some of the country’s leaders whose historical consciousness begins with World War II or even later. Most writers who left the country in voluntary or involuntary exile have gained new created energy, though the Belarusian Free Theatre would gladly return, were circumstances different. Whatever its difficulties, Belarusian culture re-mains strong.

Lukáš: historik a evangelista

EN
The contribution attempts to explain the meaning of two main characteristics of the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles and clarify the correlation between them. The article analyses the sixfold synchronism in Luke 3:1–2a and demonstrates its importance in the conception of Luke and Acts. Although Luke was not a modern historian, his work indicates how an emphasis on history can serve the Gospel. It is fairly obvious that mere facts are not sufficient and the values behind the facts and events are more important. The most important event for Luke was the salvation brought by Jesus Christ.

Although bold ideas at the end of the 1950s foreseeing the end of steam railway locomotion did not pan out, motorisation and electrification did become fundamental concepts of the generously conceived modernisation of Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) after the Second World War. Turbinisation, which was one of the alternatives to the programmes mentioned, was not taken forward. Mazutisation was more of a regressive – emergency – programme. Militarisation relating to the existence of power blocs reminds us still today of the division of the country into a north and south part, each covered by different electric locomotive systems. Locomotives manufactured by domestic industry, in particular Škoda Plzeň and Českomoravská-Kolben-Daněk (ĆKD) were unrivalled in East Europe from the 1950s to the 1980s, despite the lack of high quality material available, and were comparable to Western products in terms of quality. Not only are their newest models mainstays of railway transport within the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but many of the locomotives and railcars have only recently come out of operation, or are still being used, sometimes even after fifty or more years of service.

The present article is a contribution to the history of post-war preventive censorship in the Polish People’s Republic, as well as an attempt to grasp the full scale of manipulations perpetrated against both authors and audience of the censored media — literally of ‘fabricat­ing’ of other people’s texts. The purposes of institutional censorship were constant, prior to and after 1956. In brief, they consisted in: permanent, preventive control of all mass media, of each, even the most simple, piece of information publicised in any way. The censorship, in its official capacity, was interested in publications in all walks of life. The scale of the censoring is astonishing, even today. The presence of introductory, preventive censorship in Poland was commonly known, but its actual scale, basis and content of interferences or confi scations were kept secret from public. It was a mechanism precisely controlled through secret or confi dential regulations. important is the evaluation of meticulousness of the censorial interferences of the ‘red pencil’ and their accuracy to the intentions of the authors of regulations — decision-makers from the Polish United Workers’ Party or state institutions. These regulations determined a field of activity for a censor; they regulated information meant for a Jan Kow­alski, an ordinary Polish citizen. They reveal ‘obsessions’ of the state authorities in the period of Polish Stalinism, for instance in the specifi c scope of state secrets. The control over the expression was only one of many duties of the censorship. An important matter was to pre­sent a consultative role of the office, appraisal of the work done by editorial staff, publishers, writers, journalists and even scientific researchers. Censure reduced or intensified its opera­tion according to the actual situation in the country and the policy of the state authorities. There was a difference between its work before and after ‘the Thaw’ of October 1956. Each of the two periods had its own censoring obsessions and priorities. After the par­liamentary elections of January 1947 a monopoly over the propaganda information was im­posed, in a spilit of Stalinism leaving its stamp on almost all spheres of public life. Censorship played in the process a role of orthodox guard of the unreal image of the political system being imposed on the country. After 1956, in the wake of the October Thaw, its role changed a little but did not weaken. It is evident in the fact that censors themselves began to call into question some of the regulations but it had no infl uence on the core of censoring operations. The decree on censorship was not changed. The extent of censorial control was not thor­oughly specified and the scale of information manipulation was not reduced. After a short reorganizational chaos censors carried out their duties on the basis of methods worked out in the first years of the existence of the office. The final year of 1958 was marked by an evident end of the Thaw, the ban on criticising ‘the Party line’, and a beginning of the so-called Little Stabilisation, in maintaining of which censorship was to play an important role, thus the usefulness of its existence for the regime was not discredited.
