The present paper deals with main issues concerning the historical work of Tony Judt (1948–2010) who devoted his entire life to the contemporary history. In the first stage of his scientific career it was the French left but later he studied issues from broader perspective, which culminated in a comprehensive book Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945. Throughout all his work he sought an update of history and did not even fear to comment current world politics (for example controversy to Israel). Judt was also interested in the profiles of intellectuals and phenomena such as crisis of the welfare state or the Holocaust.

Eric Hobsbawm (1917–2012) was a British historian of Jewish origin recognized worldwide. This article traces several topics which were central for Hobsbawm as a man and a scholar. It deals with Hobsbawm’s relations to Communism as a political ideology and Marxism as a method of examining the historical process. Both these relations are reflected significantly in his extensive work which focuses primarily on the 19th and 20th centuries. Hobsbawm also excelled in popularizing the topics in modern history for the general public. The main issues studied by Hobsbawm included social classes, revolution, nation and nationalism, or the history of common people. Although the reflection of his work in Czech, or Czechoslovak, historiography was not quite wide, some Czech historians (especially Miroslav Hroch) did study Hobsbawm’s ideas.
