The study is devoted to the problem of creating and cultivating historical culture in Slovakia. Especially, the author discusses the place of professional historians in this field. He points to the frequent overlapping of scientific and ideological discourse, which is closely connected with the well-known image of the division of Slovak historiography into two camps. The result is repetition of circular discussions without innovative elements. However, this situation often defined as a plurality of views, only deepens backwardness and does not offer any new impulses for the development of professional writing of history in Slovakia.

The article includes a detailed analysis of the writings of contemporary authors and historians in the current issue of population development in Kosice in that period. Population phenomena and processes of any society attract great attention, because of their impact on economic, cultural and social development. Therefore, the research into the population and their location is a natural and essential part of the migratory movements and population growth. The article details the state of knowledge of contemporary historians writing about the population of Kosice in that period. It was prepared as a continuation of a study evaluating archival sources and statistical documents of the population in Kosice in the 19 century. It should also serve as teaching material for students of historical demography.

The first attempt to deal with the development of Czech historiography after World War II (Josef Hanzal, Cesty ceske historiografie 1945-1989, Prague 1999) failed because its author - a member of the old generation - lacked deeper analytical skills and attempted to present the complex problems of historiography, which were subject to the political pressure of the Communist regime, within the framework of bio-bibliography illustrated with his comments and simple ideological interpretation. However, this failure became a challenge for the upcoming generation of historians to take on this topic. They were not scarred - both in the positive and also the less favourable sense of the word - by their personal experience of that time. Bohumil Jirousek, author of several monographs about Czech historians of the 19th and 20th centuries (Antonin Rezek, Jaroslav Goll, Josef Macek, Josef Klik) has become one of the most diligent researchers amongst them. His new biography is devoted to Jaroslav Charvat (1904-1988). This archivist and historian, who formerly had social democratic and after World War II communist inclinations, might merely occupy a marginal position as a scholar in Czech historiography, yet he cannot be overlooked in the entire complexity of the discipline's development. Following the Communist coup d'etat in 1948 he became the Chair of General History at Charles University for many long years and as the holder of high-profile official posts he influenced not merely the development of the discipline itself but the fate of scholars holding different political views from his own. His strong political position was primarily guaranteed by his earlier membership in a left leaning association Historicka skupina (1936-1938) and later his willingness to ruthlessly intervene against scholars professing non-Communist thinking. Jirousek, on Charvat's example, attempted to interpret both the relation between a scientific discipline and the power in a totalitarian regime and the relation between power and ethics in science. These are rather complex issues, which a single biography could, at most, answer only partially. Indeed, in any case it would be necessary to take into account wider connections and in addition, to have a deeper knowledge of the actual topic. The present study emphasises certain problems which deserve attention with regard to the complex relationship between power - science/scientific scholars - ethics, especially in Jaroslav Charvat's case. They relate to the following problems: 1. The historian's attitude to research - it shows indolence, the sterility of thought and J. Charvat's unwillingness to carry out in-depth research of primary sources, which he, in his position, had to cover up by undemanding compilation work; 2. The style of (not many) published works, which was highly indebted to the ruling ideology and which intentionally sought an overexaggerated self-affirmation, based on taking credit for the historical-fiction work of Vladislav Vancura, the outstanding writer and national hero from the period of anti-Nazi resistance; 3. An attempt to join the pantheon of national historiography by exercising pressure on the non-Communist historian Frantisek Kutnar, who had to ‘buy out’ the consent for the publication of his seminal work on the history of Czech historiography (1978) by lavishing praise on Jaroslav Charvat and Vaclav Husa's Marxist Historical Group as the zenith of the one thousand year long tradition of Czech historiography; 4. His attitude as a university professor to candidates for academic honours and the abuse of power to humiliate the human dignity of one of Charvat's ideological opponents, in addition to his documented professional humiliation. The case of Jaroslav Charvat is a sad example of the role of a hugely ambitious yet academically limited historian in the history of the discipline. It is also a peculiar testimony to the twisting and turning, often tragic, even tragi-comic development of Czech historiography and its discontinuity at times when it was directed by people for whom not merely their own discipline, but also elementary human dignity meant much less than their politically inspired career. A more profound research of this theme unlocks questions on the abuse of power, infringement of the human dignity of other scholars and on elementary ethics in a politically deformed academic environment. When researching the paths of Czech historiography in the 20th century, these questions cannot be side-stepped.

Eliáš Berger from Grünberg (1562 Brezno – 1644 Skalica) worked as a historian at the court of the Emperor Rudolf II and later of Mathias II of Habsburg. He also engaged in politics. Great socio-political interest in support for the Archduke Mathias and his power-political ambitions with the aim of calming and improving the domestic situation and strengthening pro-national feelings in the Kingdom of Hungary united various representatives of the aristocratic families and important humanists at the beginning of the 17th century. Berger cooperated in these aims with his literary work, together with Stephen Ilesházi and Peter Révai. The literary output of Eliáš Berger is remarkable from 1600 – 1638. He wrote 20 larger works as well as shorter literary texts. Above all, he helped to influence political and social developments with his historical and political writing.

The aim of the following contribution is to approach and discuss the J. Morsel´s work, which provoked lively discussion in French historical circles immediately after its publication in the 2007. In his innovative essay, spread by the modern means of the Internet, Morsel attempts to answer a question, which is occupying an ever larger group of historians: that of the meaning, aims and roles of the historical science in today's society. In comparison with the varying theories of Guerreau, Le Goff, Noiriel and other historians, the author uncovers individual layers of problems, which have piled up around historiography and the epistemology of the historical science in recent years. In connection with the changes in today's crisis afflicted society, he seeks a more acceptable alternative for the appropriate fullfilment of the essence of historical research. He attempts to reserve a place for the historian as a defender and guardian of the social values acquired through the centuries, and assigns him the role of mediator in communication with the broad lay public, often swamped by superficial and consumerist information.
