Based on a study of the sources, the treatise provides an image of the Czechoslovak-Soviet Institute of the CSAS and its Russian studies themes in the first decade of the so-called normalization process with regard to the starting points of the research, thematic focus and personnel staffing. The influence of the political situation is considered in the study. Since there were a total of three of the Czechoslovak-Soviet institutes of this name developing Russian studies themes, the genesis of these workplaces and transformation of their thematic focus is also explained.

In the late 1970s, Czech society was becoming increasingly aware of the worsening environmental situation. Officials in the Žďár nad Sázavou district agreed to begin revitalizing the “Opening of the Wells” ritual to educate people about environmental problems and as a partial solution to them. This paper examines how this revitalization occurred, focusing on the conceptual framework meant to legitimize this project (the topoi selected, collective memory, ideological proclamations) and ensure its continuation. Studying attempts to make local authorities hold “Opening of the Wells” ceremonies in the villages of this district also allows us to examine how certain mechanisms of power worked during the Communist era. It also helps us better understand how environmental issues were dealt with at the district level.

This study analyzes the publication of the samizdat magazine Dialog, which offered a remarkably consistent and integrated diagnosis of contemporary Czech theatre in the 1970s. By identifying and critically reflecting on the theatre’s innumerable exceptional achievements and alternatives, against the background of its predominantly and unvaryingly average (and below average) offerings, the magazine searched for, formulated, and maintained the value criteria for both theatre criticism and the theatre arts. Despite the fact that after three years under trying circumstances the strength and resources of the editorial board and contributing authors were inevitably exhausted, the collection of texts presented by the magazine is undoubtedly one of the most relevant sources we have today on the theatre and productions of the period. The unsatisfactory state of other public professional critical platforms, as well as the many restrictions imposed on the daily press in the field of theatre arts, make the achievements of Dialog by comparison irreplaceable to historians today. In the broader context, the magazine can be seen as an attempt to distil the quintessence of the present through a cri tical reception of contemporary theatrical productions. A common leitmotif of Dialog, one that may be found in both its reviews and more comprehensive essays and studies, was an urgent expression of the inadequacy – or indeed the total absence – of stylistics in the theatre of its time.

The 1970s are referred to as the “golden age” of terrorism. In this decade, it took on an international character and links between terrorist groups from different countries began to form. In the literature of that period, as well as now, the difficulties associated with building a uniform definition of the phenomenon of terrorism were emphasized, as well as the practice of supporting it by the countries of the communist bloc. At the same time, the first classifications of sources of financing terrorism were made, including mainly state sponsorship, donations and criminal activity. The axis of the dispute in the literature of the discussed decade was the attitude of individual authors to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and all assessments of the phenomenon of terrorism were a derivative of views on this issue. However, this state of affairs was not specific only to the 1970s. This dispute has survived to this day, taking the form of a debate on the phenomenon of the so-called “Islamophobia.” In the course of this debate, some authors question not only Israel’s policy towards the Palestinians, but also the legitimacy of the “global war on terrorism” conducted after 2001 by Western countries. This article is an expression of unequivocal condemnation of the views present in some of the literature that actually justify terrorism, and especially those views that falsely equate the phenomenon of the so-called “Islamophobia” with anti-Semitism. The discrepancy of opinion on terrorism, revealed already in the 1970s, is a permanent element of the discourse on this matter to this day.

Lata 70. XX w. określane są jako „złoty wiek” terroryzmu. W tej dekadzie nabrał on charakteru międzynarodowego i zaczęły powstawać powiązania między ugrupowaniami terrorystycznymi z różnych państw. W piśmiennictwie tego okresu, podobnie jak obecnie, podkreślano trudności związane ze zbudowaniem jednolitej definicji zjawiska terroryzmu, jak również dostrzeżono proceder wspierania go przez państwa bloku komunistycznego. Poczyniono jednocześnie pierwsze klasyfikacje źródeł finansowania terroryzmu, wymieniając pośród nich przede wszystkim sponsoring państwowy, donacje od sympatyków i działalność przestępczą. Osią sporu w literaturze omawianej dekady był stosunek poszczególnych autorów do konfliktu izraelsko-palestyńskiego, a wszelkie oceny zjawiska terroryzmu stanowiły pochodną poglądów odnośnie do tego zagadnienia. Jednak ten stan nie był specyfiką wyłącznie lat 70. XX w. Spór ten przetrwał do dziś, przybierając w XXI w. postać debaty na temat zjawiska tzw. „islamofobii”. W toku tej debaty część autorów kwestionuje już nie tylko politykę Izraela względem Palestyńczyków, lecz także zasadność samej, prowadzonej po 2001 r. przez państwa Zachodu, „globalnej wojny z terroryzmem”. Artykuł niniejszy stanowi wyraz jednoznacznego potępienia obecnych w części piśmiennictwa poglądów faktycznie usprawiedliwiających terroryzm, a zwłaszcza tych poglądów, które fałszywie zrównują zjawisko tzw. „islamofobii” z antysemityzmem. Ujawniona już w latach 70. XX w. rozbieżność opinii odnośnie do terroryzmu stanowi do dziś trwały element dyskursu w tej materii.
