The text analyses the priestly activities of Karol Anton Medvecký in the first years of his pastoral ministry, from 1899 to 1902. During this period, he came into several conflicts with church authorities in Banská Bystrica’s diocese. The main cause of this conflicts were his activities in the Slovak national movement. At first he was in conflict with his pastor Štefan Pitrof, and subsequently he entered into an open dispute with the diocesan vicar Ján Havran. The first real visible punishment was Medvecký’s sudden transfer from Krupina to Jastrabie which happened after he bought a phonograph, a device for recording Slovak songs and melodies. The young priest was a pioneer in collecting folk songs, which he recorded and presented at ethnographic events. His activity was described as political and gained him many enemies in the Hungarian environment. For these reasons, his conflict with vicar Havran became a supra-regional affair, to which the Slovak, Hungarian and Czech journalistic discourse responded.

The aim of this paper is to explain, categorise and assess the image of the phenomenon of the Detva region and its population in the Slovak literary discourse in the 2nd half of the long 19th century. The image which began in Sládkovič’s romantic poem Detvan created the canon of Detva and its population. These strongly positive characteristics gradually found a reflection in other literary works, travel guides, publications and even encyclopaedia. The man from Detva and his country became the prototype of an ideal Slovak not only in Slovak literature, but were positively pictured by Czech authors, lovers and admirers of Slovaks, as well. The image of an ideal Slovak, identified with the national heroes Jánošík or Martin Hudcovie, fundamentally changed at the end of the 19th century. This change was due to the Hungarian expert and political discourse, which considered the glorifying Slovak literary works and their heroes an unwanted element. The “man from Detva” thus became a dangerous criminal living in hardly accessible mountainous areas, where he avoided his duties against the State and society. The transformation of the image of a Slovak population group reflects the developments in the views by different groups of authors of the same topic that has become an up-to-date ethno-identification phenomenon thanks to increased interest.

The text analyses the priestly live of Karol Anton Medvecký in the first period of his pastoral ministry concretely, in the years 1902 – 1909. In this time, the priest of the Banská Bystrica’s diocese was replaced many times to a smaller and inferior parish. It can be generalized that Medvecký’s frequent transfer from parish to parish was a form of punishment. This method was first used by the diocesan vicar Ján Havran, and after the exchange of bishops, it was adopted by the new ordinary of the diocese, Wolfgang Radnai. In this way, they tried to break the persecuted priest and persuade him to give up his national activities and contacts. Subsequently, the position of the priest in the diocese only deteriorated and he spent only a few months or weeks in some parishes. The text evaluates the priest’s relationship with the church hierarchy, but also with his pastors and believers, whose character was also specific.

The aim of the study is to analyse the development of disputes between the priest Karol Anton Medvecký and Bishop Wolfgang Radnai in the second decade of the 20th century. The conflict, which took place in the territory of the Banská Bystrica diocese, depicts rivalry relationships between politically active Slovak priests and the Hungarian episcopate – integrally connected with the official Hungarian political discourse. It began when the bishop relocated the priest into the complicated parish of Bacurov, where Medvecký had to face geographical, economic, mental and cultural isolation. After many years of ignoring his requests for relocation, the priest raised complaints against the bishop to the nunciature in Vienna and subsequently to the Council of the Congregation in Rome.

The article analyses the Hungarian anti-epidemic measures as a response to the cholera epidemics in 1872/73. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and county authorities responded to the initial threat by issuing recommendations on how to deal with it. Instructions also appeared in manuals and the periodical press. Official documents were primarily devoted to describing the symptoms of cholera and clearly diagnosing the first cases in order to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic. The regulations often described ways to avoid the disease, how to treat the sick and primarily how to prevent further spreading. Some documents were devoted to the method of burial or handling of the remains of dead bodies. The article also aims to analyse the method of monitoring the epidemic at the county level. In the regions, each case was initially registered separately. The authenticity should have been confirmed by the county doctor. After the outbreak of cholera, the municipalities were to prepare and send weekly updated numbers of the infected, deceased, treated and recovered patients. Based on these statistics, anti-epidemiological measures were applied by shipping medications and supporting medical personnel.

This study explores the historical progression of cholera, Spanish flu, and COVID-19, analysing changes in anti-epidemic measures and their effects on social structures. While advances in vaccination in the 20th century led to optimism, new diseases like AIDS and COVID-19 reawakened societal concerns, with globalization and increased mobility accelerating disease spread.

The article describes the fate and afterlife of the Catholic priest Ľudovít Veselý, as a participant in the Slovak National Uprising. The authors focus on the profile of this interesting personality, who represented unconventionality in his behaviour already during his preparation for the priestly profession. In the following years, Veselý joined the army and became a curate, but after the creation of the wartime Slovak Republic, due to his disagreement with the regime, he got into trouble with the law. After the intervention of Bishop Blaha, he was pardoned under the threat of prison, but was expelled from the army. After the outbreak of the Slovak National Uprising, he joined the resistance and was later betrayed, arrested and interned. Information about his death remained veiled and only emerged when his body was found in a mass grave in Kremnička near Banská Bystrica. This became the basis for building his myth and „second life“, which had different shades due to the time in which it was created and still divides public discourse today.
