Vladimír Hejmovský (Russian: Vladimir Geymovsky) was a tsarist officer in Russia who fought on the side of the Whites against the Bolsheviks. After arriving in Czechoslovakia in 1923, he became an officer in the Czechoslovak army. He was also a passionate equestrian who managed to win the Grand Pardubice Steeplechase in 1951 – when he was nearly sixty years old. But he would never again achieve a similar sporting achievement. Czechoslovakia’s State Security (StB) sought to get rid of him for his earlier anti-Bolshevik activities (and his activities in the Russian émigré organization Victor), which they succeeded in doing in September 1952

The text analyses the historical, didactic and methodological aspects of the use of post stamps in the educational process. It focuses on the reflection of the renewed Czechoslovak and Polish statehood after the end of the First World War through the period and jubilee post stamps. Like posters, post stamps are a historical source reflecting mainly modern (national) history and, for example, the changes in the statehood. On the basis of an appropriate selection, the mechanisms of legitimization of the state power or propaganda can be concisely and effectively explained in history lessons. The described procedure creates an fective alternative educational medium that strengthens the interdisciplinary cooperation of school history –media education.

Russian emigration after the 1917 revolution gave birth to a special culture of memory and a specific historical consciousness. These processes were greatly influenced by the dramatic events of the recent past (the First World War, the Revolution of 1917, the Civil War and the Exodus), which took on the character of historical trauma. The article focuses on how Russian émigré scholars tried to interpret complex issues of the Russian past and present in history textbooks. In this article, the textbooks by three historians (E. F. Shmurlo, L. M. Sukhotin and R. Yu. Wipper) are analyzed. The author of the article attempts to understand how these scholars assessed the Russian imperial past, including expansion, and how they explained the reasons for the Revolution and the collapse of statehood in 1917.

The essay presents a synthesizing glimpse into the relatively long tradition of Polish associational life in Prague (on the example of the Polish Club), which was violently interrupted during the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (1940) and restored after the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia (1991). Today’s Polish Club in Prague directly succeeds an organisation of the same name that originated under the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (1887). It is widely regarded as the representative and speaker of all Poles permanently living in the capitol in the Czech Republic or in its immediate vicinity. It plays this role towards the state and local authorities (in particular the City of Prague Magistrate) as well as the Polish representative office in the Czech Republic, i.e. the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Prague (including its Consular Department). The activities and attitudes of the Polish Club in Prague have thus never been without significance in terms of the development of Czech-Polish relations – in particular with regard to the cultural ocial contacts, mutual recognition of both neighbouring nations or overcoming the negative heterostereotypes.

The aim of the presented study is to compare two documentaries that deal with the same personality – Klement Gottwald – President of the Czechoslovak Republic in the years 1948–1953. Based on selected films we want to analyse how the current social situation, state regime, results stemming from history knowledge and current history education are reflected in their content. For this reason, we chose a documentary from the Descendants and Ancestors series called Klement Gottwald made in 1986, as well as a documentary from the Red Presidents series called Unified in Fear – Klement Gottwald in 2018, since the aim was to compare images published before and after 1989.2 At the same time, we look at the issue from a didactic point of view, when we present specific possibilities of using the comparison of documentary films in history teaching. At the beginning, we briefly define what a documentary is. Next, we introduce the personality of Klement Gottwald from the point of view of modern historiography, and for an overview we name and briefly inform about some documentary films that were made about him. Subsequently, we focus on the basic data for the selected images and then we move on to the comparison itself, where we focus among other things, on pointing out the influence of communist propaganda. In this section we focus on specific common or different features of both documents and analyse them in detail. Finally, we offer several alternatives for the application of the comparison of documentary films in educational practice.

The study deals with the development and transformation of the attitudes of the power block of the Bohemian Catholic nobility of the so-called League of Zelená Hora towards the Jagiellonian candidacy for the Bohemian throne. It first offered the throne to the Jagiellonians itself and anticipated in return the military support of Poland in the war with the present King of Bohemia George of Poděbrady. Polish mediation in fact did save the League of Zelená Hora from defeat, but the League did not want to accept the Jagiellonian tactic of neutrality. Thanks to the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus, it received military assistance, which led it to deny Polish claims by electing Corvinus as King of Bohemia in 1469. When King George began negotiations on Polish succession with the Krakow court, the League, on the other hand, tried to prevent Polish success by political means. After the election of Władysław II Jagiełło as Bohemian king, it did not recognise him, but was interested in a military confrontation and only after the pressure of Matthias Corvinus did it join the so-called War of the Three Kings with Władysław and his father Casimir IV. Nevertheless, it still preferred a diplomatic resolution of the dispute and peaceful coexistence with Władysław’s party in Bohemia.

The article analyzes the activities of famous Ukrainian scientist and public figure Stepan Smal-Stotsky during his emigration to Czechoslovakia in 1918-1938. It is noted that now S.Smal-Stotsky had become a diplomat for the first time as the ambassador of the Western Ukraine People's Republic in Prague. In cooperation with the Ukraine People's Republic (UPR) embassy, he managed to implement a number of events to promote Ukrainian aspirations. From 1921 to 1937, S. Smal-Stotsky taught the Ukrainian Language and Literature at the Ukrainian Free University in Prague. There had been a lot of success in this field, he managed to educate an entire galaxy of eminent scientists in linguistics. The article notes that S. Smal-Stotsky was more concerned in scientific terms with the issues of the origin of the Ukrainian language, literary studies of the works of Taras Shevchenko at that time. He initiated a number of discussions on the issues of Ukrainian spelling, the ancient period of Ukrainian history. S. Smal-Stotsky out a great deal of organizational and social work at that time. He initiated two Ukrainian research and scientific congresses in Prague and headed the Museum of the Liberation Struggle of Ukraine.

The article presents the findings of a study that conducted a content analysis of German history textbooks for upper secondary schools, investigating gender aspects of the educational content. The analysis focused primarily on the presentation of the historical evolution of women’s roles from the mid-19th century to the present day. The study draws on previous research of history teaching materials comparing the content of history textbooks in Austria, Britain, France, Germany and Switzerland. The methodology is anchored in recent literature, and includes a qualitative analysis based on a set of predetermined criteria. The findings of the analysis indicate that German textbooks devote substantial coverage to the history of women’s emancipation; the textbooks contain separate chapters focusing on the gender dimension, including the struggle for women’s suffrage, women’s war efforts during the two world wars, the status of women in the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany and post-1945, and questions of everyday life. The didactic elements of the texts are also well-elaborated (methodological passages, the use of didactic media, interpretation of historical sources, project-based teaching).

This paper is dedicated to František Alois Hora (1838–1916), a Pilsen teacher, writer and translator, who broke down borders between Czechs and Poles. He translated more than 50 Polish authors, in particular Józef Ignacy Kraszewski, Stanisław Grudziński, Adam Pług, Eliza Orzeszkowa, Władysław Bogusławski, Wilhelmina Zyndram-Kościałkowska, Helena Janina Boguska – Hajota, Józefa Sawicka – Ostoja, Zygmunt Miłkowski – T. T. Jez, Bolesław Prus and Henryk Sienkiewicz. He established personal friendships with most of these writers, and his papers in the Pilsen City Archives contain many interesting letters in Polish. He compiled and published a Polish-Czech dictionary, Czech-Polish dictionary and Polish practical grammar, organised free Polish language courses and popularised the culture and literature of Poland. Although his work is of great significance, interest of literary or history researchers has remained scant right up to the present day.

Viktor Kosenko (1896–1938) was one of the brightest representatives of Ukrainian musical culture of the first half of the 20th century. He was a brilliant pianist, a genius composer, and an outstanding teacher. But the first twenty years of his biography are a "white spot", a gap in modern musicology. There are almost no materials related to this time in his personal archive, as well as in the funds of the Composer's Memorial Apartment. So let's look for the reasons for the "mysterious disappearance" of the information about the artist's childhood and youth period. We will find the information in other sources and reconstruct this period of his biography, immerse ourselves in the atmosphere that surrounded the future composer during his stay in Warsaw, restore impressions and memories of his school life period, which could be reflected in his future work.
