This essay analyses comprehensively Jiri Kovtun's monograph 'Republika v nebezpecnem svete' (The Republic in a Dangerous World). At first, it briefly introduces its author, one of the most important historians in exile. Subsequently, the general outlines of his interpretation of the inter-war history of Czechoslovakia, from its foundation until President Masaryk's abdication from presidential office, are laid out. This essay commends, among other things, the author's robust efforts to interpret the development of the First Republic within the framework of pan-European politics. Further, it confronts his well-founded conclusions with the opinions of the revisionist stream of Czech historiography in the last decade of the 20th century.

The journal 'Prudy' (1909 - 1914; 1922 - 1938) served the liberal-democratic part of the Slovak intelligence as a platform for promoting Masaryk's ideology. The young intellectuals grouped around this journal were familiar with the progressive thinking of that time and promoted the positivist realistic attitude and world-view. Similarly, as Czech intellectuals, the Slovak adherents of Masaryk contributed to introducing the rational approach, the principle of criticism and other progressive trends in Slovak cultural milieu. The journal offered the place for discussing the burning political and social issues, as well as cultural and scientific issues. Although the journal was not a purely theoretical one, many of the authors contributed considerably for the philosophical (S. Stur) and sociological (A. Stefanek) debates.

Beyond question, modern Turkey is a brainchild of political reforms. Thanks to them Turkey aspires to the prestigious European Union membership. Their depth was arranged for by the most impressive figure of Asia Minor of the 20th century: Mustafa Kemal called Ataturk. Some kind of a modern 'father of the nation' who has been a revered person, nearly a paragon of identification ever since. This is mostly true thanks to the fact that his republican revolution connected with secularization and nationalism moved the generally underdeveloped country degraded by the World War I towards developed, victorious states. His radical triumph may remotely resemble revolutionary state-forming success of Tomas G. Masaryk but mainly to that of V. I. Lenin. The latter he offered geopolitical turn in Russian relation to Turkey that was accepted with gratitude. Subsequently, after the death of both representatives, it even co-influenced the result of the second global war.

AThe essay comments on attitudes of Karel Kramar and Tomas G. Masaryk on the Russian issue and is based on their mutual correspondence. It concentrates on a collection of letters written in 1919. It follows Kramar's and Tomas G. Masaryk's opinions on solving the critical situation in Russia after 1917 and elaborates on their ideological confrontation regarding the first Czechoslovak Prime Minister's proposals to conduct a military operation against the Bolsheviks. Kramar had been a leading supporter of the Slavs' mutual collaboration under Russian guidance before 1914. He did not forsake the ideal of all-Slavism even when the new conditions of the First Czechoslovak Republic were established. He followed it with a fight against Bolshevism and a programme for creating a 'new' Russian democratic power. Masaryk was sober and more inclined to compromise in his viewpoints. He did not regard the conception of Slavs' mutuality as realistic. He argued with Kramar's scheme to engage in a 'Czechoslovak' military campaign and preferred an allied intervention. The factual aspects made him withdraw from any assisting action and accept the Russian state of affairs, although he opposed official negotiations with the Soviet power and remained a committed opponent of the Moscow government.

The goal of the paper is to present in a brief digest of the basic points of Masaryk's concept of religion and above all to point at his relationship to Christianity. The text presents the most significant life, social, philosophical and religious influences upon Masaryk's thought and it gives notice to some less stressed connections that formed his attitude to the Christian faith. One part of the paper is also a sufficient mapping of opinions and critical assessments of other authors of his time as well as contemporary ones that gave heed to Masaryk's theory of religion.
