The Battle of Zborov of the 2nd July 1917 was the first joint operation of the Czechoslovak Volunteer Army in Russia - the Czechoslovak Shooting Brigade, which formed the basis of the Russian Legion. Although compared to other major combats on the western, eastern and southern fronts, this battle does not rank among the most influential battles in the military history of the First World War, it was of crucial importance in terms of forming the Czechoslovak Legions, or in terms of political assertion of the authority of the Czechoslovak resistance led by T.G. Masaryk, M. R. Štefánik and E. Beneš. This facilitated the formation of the Czechoslovak volunteer troops in Russia. Gradually, the Czechoslovak Army Corps, as well as the first regiments of the French Legion, and ultimately the Italian Legion in the west, came into being. From a political point of view, the Battle of Zborov proved to the allies that the Czechs and the Slovaks were able to fight for their freedom and for the creation of a common state with arms in their hands, and were even willing to sacrifice their lives in the struggle against the Central Powers. In the years of the first Czechoslovak Republic (1918 - 1938), the battle of Zborov became the basis of the fighting traditions of the Czechoslovak Army. However, following the German occupation of the Czech lands, and especially later, after the February of 1948, due to the victory of the Communist regime, these traditions were politically suppressed, their importance being largely pushed into the background through emphasizing the struggle at the Battle of Dukla Pass in autumn 1944. The grave of an unknown soldier from Zborov at the Old Town Hall in Prague was destroyed by the Germans and, following the liberation of the country, was replaced by the tomb of an unknown soldier from the Battle of Dukla Pass. It was only after 1989 that the Zborov Battle and its heroes were once again restored to their former glory and were returned their status in the history of the Slovaks and the Czechs in the struggle for freedom and for their own statehood.

Apart from stitching of glass silver and later also coloured beads on their bodices, girls and women in villages close to the small town of Zborov (the Upper Šariš region) decorated their folk costumes in another attracting way - by gluing of colourful glass cullet - in the inter-war period. The technique was simple: a fabric had been coated with glue in patterns they wanted to bear specific colour and then dredged with glass cullet of the desired colour, thin layer of which remained attached to the cloth. In this way they continued gluing of other colours. Occurrence of this technique within rustic population was in direct connection with glassworks activities at Stebnícka Huta, relations with glass workers and their families and availability of glass cullet together with glass gluing techniques as well. The glassworks had moved there at the end of the 17th century from Bardejovská Nová Ves and it existed till the middle of the 19th cent. (1641-1856). Its production was oriented to blown sodium-potassium glassware - bottles, bevies, pharmaceutical glass, plate glass, chandeliers, candlesticks and other utility glassware. The bodices decorated with glass cullet in this micro-region are unique and original proof of folk art spirit and creativity in using of techniques and material resources.
