The municipal elections of 1919 and the parliamentary/senate elections of 1920 gave women their first opportunity to exercise their new right to vote, and as such were important milestones in the forming of women’s new status as equal citizens. The paper analyses election campaigns aimed at female voters in selected periodicals published by the Czech Catholic People’s Party in 1919 and 1920: the newspaper Lid (The People) and the newly established magazine Žena (Woman). It explores the main topics and strategies of the campaign and identifies the underlying concepts of women’s political interests and motivations. The main focus is on the magazine Žena and its attempts to reconcile traditional Catholic femininity and the ‘separate spheres’ model with women’s newfound status as political actors and to create a picture of a new, politically active Catholic woman for its readership.

The Ukrainian Sokol movement abroad is an interesting social phenomenon from the point of view of studying the formation of the modern Ukrainian nation. In addition to the cultivation of physical fitness, education for active patriotism occupied an important place in the Sokol ideology. The study traces the process of the development of a specific analogy of the Sokol movement in the conditions of the still forming Ukrainian nation in a historical perspective. The emphasis is placed on its institutionalisation in the conditions of the ethnic diaspora. The main source of information for such a focused study was the contemporary emigrant press and other publications published in the diaspora. The most comprehensive reports on the issues discussed can be found in the monthly Ukrainian Sokol, whose publisher was the Union of Ukrainian Sokol Abroad, the organisation that receives the most attention in the text. In addition to the formation of national consciousness, the role of Ukrainian Sokol lay in the consolidation of disparate Ukrainian currents of opinion in an environment of politically disunited emigration. The author concludes that the Sokol movement played a significant role in shaping the ideology of Ukrainian nationalism on the territory of the Czech lands during the period under study.

The article explores Andrei Tikhonovich Pavlov, Russian émigré philosopher based in interwar Czechoslovakia. There is, as yet, no scientific study dedicated to Pavlov. The available biographical data give an impression of Pavlov as a secondary philosopher, in the shadow of his more renowned colleagues. This paper, based on accessible sources, focuses on Pavlov’s career that equivocated largely between Russian émigré pedagogy and philosophy. It also explores Pavlov’s contribution to philosophy. The most extensive part of his work in this field is dedicated to philosophy of T. G. Masaryk. The paper focuses on Pavlov’s key theses and places them within the context of other studies reflecting Masaryk’s work by the Russian philosophers in exile. Thanks to research made, Pavlov does not seem as “philosopher in a shadow” anymore, but he becomes the one of the most intriguing and, at the same time, most controversial interpreter of Masaryk’s works.

The year 1918, which brought the split of the Habsburg monarchy and the rise of Czechoslovakia, represented the final completion of the constitution of the modern nation-state society. This complicated process, not very precisely named by its contemporaries as "national revival", was a result in both the Slavic and non-Slavic Central European milieux of the complicated emancipation movement of the Czech and Slovak nations. This newlyfounded state had been based upon a kinship of language and ethnicity, but its peoples still had differing historical and confessional traditions as well as developmental potentialities. Therefore, the official ideology of unitarian Czechoslovakism held up the construction of a higher-level Czechoslovak unity in the cultural sphere, but, in reality, there were more diverse literary discourses which proliferated both in integrational and disintegrational forms, as well as artistic poetics, ethnic minorities, and several co-existing languages. In the interwar period of 1918-1939, there was a dynamized literary development freeing the creative potential of artistic generations and single subjects; this was politically influenced by Masaryk’s idea of democratic community in the geopolitical space between the West and the East in both cultures. This situation in Czech and Slovak literatures contributed to a more intensive self-reflection of European ideological and aesthetic currents through which both literatures moved closer to world literature in their most celebrated creations.

Rok 1938 był przełomowy dla bezpieczeństwa Czechosłowacji oraz całej Europy. Rozsypywał się porządek wersalski. Niemcy, przy milczącej zgodzie państw b. Ententy, uczyniły kolejny krok na drodze do wojny. Będący wówczas w Londynie Jan Masaryk obserwował działania rządu brytyjskiego i raportował o jego stanowisku do Pragi. Najważniejszym zadaniem było wysądowanie, jakie stanowisko zajmie Londyn w chwili, gdy dojdzie do bezpośredniej konfrontacji z III Rzeszą, coraz umiejętniej grającą kartą Niemców sudeckich.

The year 1938 was a turning point for the security both of Czechoslovakia and all Europe. The Versailles order was falling apart. Germany, with the silent concord of the former Entente states, made the first step towards war. Jan Masaryk, who at that time was in London, observed the moves of the British Cabinet and reported to Prague. His most important task was to sound out London’s stance at the moment of direct confrontation with the Third Reich which increasingly skilfully was playing the card of the Sudeten Germans.
