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 subject of this paper is in connection with the establishment of Czechoslovakia the Slovak question at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919-1920. The essay is based on the approach that the conception of this issue is not only a matter of internal significance, ie only for Czechoslovakia itself and the Czech and Slovak people, as the majority of professional studies are oriented. The solution of this issue was very important also in terms of stability of the forming international system after the First World War. After a clear historical recapitulation of the development and formation of the Czechoslovak state idea, attention is paid to discussing the establishment of Czechoslovakia and, in this context, especially the Slovak issue at the Paris Peace Conference in search of the optimal concept. The researched issue is affected in two interconnected levels. The first is recognition of the existence of Czechoslovakia as a state and, together with that, the second recognition of the territorial scope of that state with a focus on Slovakia.
