The author analyses the ways of depicting contemporary times in two monographs written by renown scholars: La Pologne au coeur de l’Europe. De 1914 à aujourd’hui, histoire politique et conflits de mémoire (Poland at the heart of Europe. From 1914 to the present day. Political history and conflicts of memory) and The Road to Unfreedom. Russia, Europe, America by Timothy Snyder. A particularly important date here is 2010, the year of the Smolensk air disaster, which in Poland gave rise to many false myths and manipulations of facts (described by both authors). Snyder chooses this year as a symbolic turning point within the global process of shifting from the mindset of “inevitability” towards the mindset of “eternity”. The second main characteristic of this way of thinking and acting is that truth and facts are replaced in the public discourse with fake news, fabrications, creating social divisions and stirring hostile emotions.

a2_The author devotes most of his reply to Smetana´s review, ''Na pomezí historického románu'' (Almost a Historical Novel), ibid., pp. 524-39), which he considers to be biased, unfair, and unfriendly. He focuses on three points that Smetana has criticized him for: his allegedly ignoring a large part of the historiography on the subject, the alleged dubiousness of some of the facts he presents, and his allegedly one-sidedly negative assessment of Ambassador Steinhardt´s work in Czechoslovakia. The author rejects Smetana´s arguments and finds nothing positive to say about his review.

Autor se polemicky vrací ke třem komentářům v minulém čísle Soudobých dějin, které byly věnovány anglickému a českému vydání jeho poslední knihy (On the Edge of the Cold War: American Diplomats and Spies in Postwar Prague. New York, Oxford University Press 2012; Československo nad propastí: Selhání amerických diplomatů a tajných služeb v Praze 1945-1948. Praha, Prostor 2014). Autory těchto recenzních statí jsou Petr Mareš, Vít Smetana a Jan Koura. V Marešově stati (Historie ve službách příběhu. In: Soudobé dějiny, roč. 22, č. 3-4, 2015, s. 504-523) Lukeš nachází vyvážené hodnocení své knihy a nové podněty k přemýšlení. S některými jeho výtkami souhlasí, s jinými vede diskusi. Jádrem této diskuse je osobnost a role poválečného velvyslance Spojených států v Československu Laurence A. Steinhardta, jemuž Lukeš vytýká především laxní výkon funkce a preferování jeho soukromých zájmů před státní službou, což Mareš relativizuje. S příspěvkem Jana Koury (Selhání, nebo spíš změna amerických priorit? In: Tamtéž, s. 540-546) autor polemizuje o významu americké veřejné diplomacie v poválečném Československu. Recenzentova kritika, že iniciativy americké ambasády na tomto poli zanedbal, podle Lukeše příliš neobstojí, neboť to byly snahy naprosto nedostatečné a opožděné. Nejvíce místa věnuje autor recenzi Víta Smetany (Na pomezí historického románu. In: Tamtéž, s. 524-539), kterou považuje za předpojatou, neseriózní a nekolegiální. Polemicky se zaměřuje na několik bodů, které mu Smetana vytýká: ignorování velké části odborné literatury, nevěrohodnost některých uváděných faktů, jednostranně negativní hodnocení československého působení velvyslance Steinhardta. Jeho argumenty odmítá a na celé jeho kritice nenachází nic pozitivního.

The relationship between the two countries has been a complex and diverse subject of investigation and contemplation. The interconnection between the two countries can be described by the following central notions, such as economic cooperation, rivalry in terms of status acquisition of global hegemonic power, particularly in the Pacific region and beyond controversy mutual suspicion over each other’s intentions. Therefore, it is clearly justified that each state has elaborated and adopted a specific manner of conduct and attitude regarding each other as a potential adversary but has meanwhile maintained an extremely strong economic partnership. It is fair to state, that the relationship between both countries has been described by multiple world leaders and academics as the world’s most significant bilateral relationship of the 21st century. Due to the fact that Chinese economy has started to develop increasingly fast and PRC has strengthened its positions on the world’s arena, the United States started to perceive the Middle Kingdom as a direct threat to the established world order in its drive for regional hegemony in East Asia now as well as future aspirant for global supremacy. Beijing, by contrast rejects these notions, and continues its assertive policies and its quest for allies.
