The political changes in 1989/1990 affected all of East German society, including in particular the country’s ethnic Sorbs. Sorbian institutions that had enjoyed a relatively regular influx of financial resources in the GDR now found themselves in an uncertain situation. The new democratic and liberal society did not guarantee Sorbs their previous certainties in the fields of science, education, culture, and other areas. This article looks at selected institutions to provide an idea of how the transformation process took place. One educational institution that did not survive the collapse of the GDR is the Zentrale sorbische Sprachschule Milkel (Sorb.: Centralna serbska rěčna šula w Minakału), which provided language instruction and an overview of Sorbian history and culture for many people who subsequently went on to work for Sorbian institutions. By comparison, one organization that weathered the changes was the Sorbian Institute, although the dissolution of the Akademie der Wissenschaften der DDR necessitated a change in legal form (e.V.). One new institution, whose main task is to distribute financing to the most important Sorbian organizations, is the Foundation for the Sorbian People. Smaller changes affected the Sorbian print media at this time as well.
1989/1990年的政治变化影响了整个东德社会,特别是该国的索布族。在德意志民主共和国享有相对经常的财政资源流入的索布族机构现在发现自己处于不确定的境地。新的民主和自由社会并没有保证索布族在科学、教育、文化和其他领域的确定性。本文着眼于选定的机构,以提供转换过程如何发生的概念。有一所教育机构在德意志民主共和国解体后没能幸免于难,那就是德意志高等学校(Sorb)。:中央塞尔维亚rr (šula w Minakału),为后来在索布族机构工作的许多人提供语言教学和索布族历史和文化概览。相比之下,一个经受住了变革的组织是索布族研究所,尽管民主德国科学学院的解散需要改变法律形式(e.V)。一个主要任务是向最重要的索布族组织分配资金的新机构是索布族人民基金会。在这个时候,较小的变化也影响了索布族的印刷媒体。

Poles who have resided in the lands of the nowadays Ukraine for centuries have always made efforts to organise Polish schooling. Unfortunately, times were not always favourable to their work, and the circumstances, especially the political situation, have made the education of Polish children impossible to a significant degree. How far the hostile actions of politicians could go has been proven at the beginning of the 20th century, when, ,since the 1920s, Poles were virtually deprived of national schooling. It was only after the formation of independent Ukraine in 1991 that the Polish society could commence their efforts to organise comprehensive education in the Polish language. Attempts were made to develop education in various organisational forms and on various levels, establishing Polish-language public schools, as well as Polish-language classes, extracurricular lessons in Polish, Polish language courses, Polish language courses, e.g. organized through Catholic and Polish associations. These actions have been accompanied by numerous problems of economic, political, and legal nature, as well as the shortage of teaching staff. This paper presents the process of the reactivation of Polish schooling at the turn of the 20th and the 21st century within the borders of the independent Ukrainian state.

The article focuses on various aspects of the situation in Subcarpathian Rus raised and analyzed in the reports of the Czech officials, who visited the Subcarpathian region during 1919. Most Czech officials stated the vital need for a far-sighted and responsible policy in this strategically important region. In their reports to Prague, most Czech officials divided the local Rusyn intelligentsia in Subcarpathian Rus into pro-Russian and local orientations, and recommended Czechoslovak authorities to rely on and to provide support for the representatives of the local orientation as more preferable for Prague interests in that region.

The reestablishment of Poland’s independence in 1918 forced academic circles of a new state to the process of learning the history of education and culture of a native land. Polish students were among the most active participants in this sphere. They gathered in scientific societies. The Pedagogical circle of Polish students functioned in the John Casimir University in the 1930s.

The article focuses on relations between the revived Polish state and the Belarusian minority in Poland during 1920–1921 as reflected in the Western Belarusian press. While initially the press in Western Belarusian press was mostly positive about the revival of Poland and expected support for Belarusian national aspirations from Polish democracy, later this attitude changed for the worse as the Western Belarusian press and public became increasingly dissatisfied with the national policy of the Polish authorities towards the Belarusian minority.

American compatriots were also involved in the first Czechoslovak foreign resistance movement during the World War I. Their central organization was the Czech National Association, bringing together liberal and Protestant Czechs. The Czech National Social Association J. V. Frič was founded with the support of the Czech National Social Party. A very active part of the resistance was the American Sokol, Slovak Sokol and the National Association of Czech Catholics also participated in the resistance. The relationship with the resistance of the Czech department of the Socialist Party in America was more complicated.
