The article studies the "afterlife" of the former Subcarpathia, the present-day Transcarpathia, within the Czech society after 1989. The discourse about the region was framed by the understanding of the Czech society of their revolution of 1989 primarily in terms of political and cultural return to the inter-war Masarykian Republic. It maps the different ways the Czech society coped with this deficit in its restoration endeavours in the early 1990s. Within the Czech public discourse uncritical conception of selfless and successful civilising mission in the East still prevails, based on a belief that local population gratefully accepted and now nostalgically longs for such input. For some time after 1989, the theme became one of the key components of Czech debates concerning the past, its neighbours and own identity within the integrating Europe.

The Subcarpathian Voivodeship is a specific region in terms of electoral prefer-ences. The results of the European elections in 2004, 2009 and 2014 indicated that results better than the national average were gained by right-wing parties (Liga Polskich Rodzin, Prawo i Sprawiedliwość) as well as “rural” committees (Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe, Samoobrona). The aim of this article is to explain the factors influencing the electoral preferences.

Mieczysław Marcinkowski’s diary entitled Wbrew losowi. Z partyzantki i tułaczki 1939–1945 was created in two periods of the author’s life and two geographical and cultural areas (Subcarpathia during wartime in Poland and California in the 1990s). Developed by a group of Rzeszów scientists, the diary of a Home Army fighter in Subcarpathia, later a refugee, now living in Pasadena, USA, is a record of events, experiences and reflections from wartime occupation and postwar exile. It is a convincing record of facts, which makes it a valuable source text for historians. It is also a work of some literary quality, written in spontaneous and sincere language that triggers empathy in the reader, and it is fairly original at the composition level.

Subcarpathia 1944 through the eyes of a Soviet private. Victor Astafyev 's war thind and memoir prose Viktor Astafyev is a representative of the literary movement called “village prose” and one of the most significant Russian writers of the second half of the 20th century. The writer also uses the war theme in his literary works pretty often. Being a Red Army's soldier and a participant in World War II, he took part in a number of battles at the territory of Polish Subcarpathia in particular. The article presents the image of Subcarpathia in Astafyev’s memoir prose. In his work Astafyev does not hide the fascination with Polish noble culture and the landscapes of Subcarpathia as well. At the same time, the influence of Soviet historiography and propaganda in the author’s way to create the narration in his literary works shows up pretty clearly. Despite the writing craftsmanship improvement and his personal ideological evolution in the last decades of his life (the writer finally had rejected the ideology of communism and had condemned the wars), Viktor Astafyev hadn't accepted Polish historical narrative after 1989. The reason for the lack of acceptance was the fact that The Red Army had lost the status of the “liberator” of the Polish lands from German occupation. So, no wonder then, that in his latest novel, The Jolly Soldier, Astafyev took a very critical stance towards Poles and Poland.

Podkarpacie 1944 oczami sowieckiego szeregowca. O prozie wojennej i wspomnieniowej Wiktora Astafiewa Wiktor Astafiew, wybitny pisarz rosyjski, drugiej połowy XX wieku, reprezentant prozy wiejskiej, jako uczestnik II wojny światowej, wiele miejsca w swojej twórczości poświęcił tematyce wojennej. Wraz z Armią Czerwoną walczył też w Polsce na Podkarpaciu. Artykuł prezentuje obraz Podkarpacia w prozie wojennej i wspomnieniowej rosyjskiego prozaika. Z jednej strony Astafiew nie kryje swojej fascynacji polską kulturą szlachecką i pejzażami Podkarpacia, z drugiej zaś w jego relacjach widoczny jest wpływ radzieckiej historiografii i propagandy. Pomimo ewolucji twórczej i światopoglądowej – odrzucenia komunizmu i potępienia wszelkich wojen – pisarz nie potrafił pogodzić się z polską narracją historyczną po 1989 roku, w której Armia Czerwona straciła status „wyzwoliciela” ziem polskich spod niemieckiej okupacji. To stało się przyczyną zmiany stosunku do Polaków, wobec których w swojej ostatniej powieści Wesoły żołnierz Astafiew zajął postawę nader krytyczną.
