Abstract

Galicia, regardless of the territorial changes in 1795–1846, was a country open to possible aggression from the west, north and east. The only serious natural barrier – the Carpathian ridge – was the internal border of the Habsburg Monarchy. Austrian staff in the years 1779–1783 mapped Galicia and identified possible natural obstacles (rivers, hills) that could be used for improvised defence. Military plans from 1810–1848 most often stated that Galicia was impos-sible to defend against aggression (e.g. Russian), and that resistance should only be put up in the Carpathians. It was only from 1846 (annexation of Kraków), and especially from 1850 (new fortification plan for Austria), that Galicia was recognised as the area of a future manoeuvre war with Russia (or Prussia). Therefore, attempts were made to use the few natural obstacles to strengthen the country's defence: rivers (Vistula, San, Dniester) and, to a lesser extent, the heights of the Carpathians (mainly to secure communication routes for military purposes). The main military investments: the Kraków and Przemyśl fortresses and the strengthened San-‑Dniester line were intended primarily to protect the mobilisation of the monarchy’s own troops intended for the offensive against Russia. Secondly, they were given purely defensive tasks: blocking the operational line towards Vienna (Kraków) and Budapest (Przemyśl), using the existing river network and the hills of the northern slopes of the Carpathians. Galicia's modest natural values were also used in this way during World War I.

Abstract

At the turn of the 20th century. Scandinavia was a geographical region that attracted the attention of the Polish public. Two journeys by Maria Kleniewska, a landowner from Lublin, were part of this circle of interest. Her descriptions of Denmark, Sweden and Finland, introduced into the research trend of geohistory, make it possible to reconstruct the image of the countries of Northern Europe as seen subjectively by a representative of Polish landowning and women's circles. In accordance with such optics, Kleniewska linked natural landscapes with the economy, politics, customs and culture of the inhabitants of the Baltic regions in her accounts. She noticed and emphasised their diversity and at the same time, depicting the natural environment with descriptions of forests and fields, mountains and plains, sea and land, she noticed that they determined the life of the populations of Scandinavian towns and villages. From the perspective of the landed gentry, she assessed agriculture; from the perspective of women and their eman-cipation. The buckle that tied all the descriptions together remained culture and Kleniewska's authorial message that the transfer of Scandinavian patterns defined by the union of culture and nature could be a path leading to the recovery of Polish statehood.

Abstract

The aim of the article is to characterise the territorial structure of the Przemyśl diocese of the Latin rite and its changes at the turn of the 19th century and throughout the 19th century. The multiple and very short‑term changes to the boundaries of the diocese, which were introduced at the end of the 18th century, resulted in the fact that for almost twenty years the internal organisation of the diocese was not formed and stable, but was constantly reorganised. These changes took place under the influence of political factors, which were aimed at adapting the borders of dioceses and deaneries to the administrative division of Galicia. Shifts of the partition borders resulted in territorial and organisational transformations of the diocese. Difficulties related to the organisation of the network of deaneries and parishes also resulted from the uneven distribution of the Roman Catholic population in the Przemyśl diocese, diverse in terms of nationality and religion.

The density of Latins decreased significantly towards the east and south‑east of the diocese, where the Ruthenian and Greek Catholic population dominated. This directly influenced the size of deaneries, the diversity of parish districts and significant disproportions in the statistics of the faithful. Compared to the numerous 18th‑century transformations in the territorial structure of the Przemyśl diocese, there was relative stabilisation in the 19th century. During this century, the Austrian authorities changed the borders of the Przemyśl diocese only three times. After the last change, which took place in 1821, its borders remained constant until 1925.

Abstract

The Russian government abuses history during the war, justifying its aggression. They devel-oped a plan to de‑Ukrainianise Ukraine, which included the assimilation of Ukrainians. For this purpose, it was planned to use the Soviet nostalgia of some of the Ukrainian population – bearers of the Soviet‑Russian memory model. The testing ground was the self‑proclaimed in 2014 “republics of Donbas”, where a special mnemonic politics aimed at breaking ties with Ukraine and rejecting Ukrainian identity was implemented.

Since the beginning of the occupation, Russia has been destroying monuments that are not related to the “common” history of Ukraine and Russia. First of all, these are monuments to the victims of the Holodomor of 1932–1933, participants in the Antiterrorist Operation in Donbas, and historical figures who opposed Russian influence. Russian‑controlled authorities introduced Russian textbooks and tried to reduce the use of the Ukrainian language.

Abstract

Since the beginning of the 21st century, we have been able to observe an increasingly growing nostalgia and sentimental returns to the times of communism in the entire region of the former Eastern Bloc countries.

Of course, nostalgia for these times does not only apply to the older generation. The experi- ence of communism is passed on as a kind of transfer of memory to the younger part of society. Sometimes it is the nostalgia of grandparents, but more often of parents who did not like the political transformation or were unable to find their way in the new market economy.

The idealisation of post‑communist history in the young generation is, for example, art, furni-ture, ceramics, etc., which were rejected by the mainstream in the 1990s and are now coming back and becoming attractive and cool.

An example of such an idealised world and the realities of life in the Eastern Bloc countries is the Workers and Resources Soviet Republic game released in 2019 by the Slovak studio 3Divi-sion. Using it as an example, I would like to analyse what the computer reality represents, what it can say about social memory, and how it can shape the player's vision of the functioning of the socialist state.

Adding new patches to the game constantly expands its functions, including new management mechanisms, such as those related to law and crime. Introducing, among other things, the security service and the political police whose task is to examine the level of loyalty of the citizens—one of the important measures in the game. All this will affect the player's immersion. If developers continue to develop it, it will become almost a simulator of a com-munist state.

Abstract

The formation of a unified identity within the USSR gave rise to memorial practices which served as tools for consolidating power and promoted a shared historical narrative, particularly one centred on victory in World War II. These practices aimed to homogenise diverse ethnic groups, minimising their individual traits while highlighting their collective role in combating fascism. Russia, inheriting the USSR's legacy, consistently supports these narratives by reshaping facts and utilising factoids, not only revising collective historical narratives but also advocating for Ukrainian assimilation. The hybridisation of commemoration has facilitated the emergence of new narratives that serve as interpretive frameworks for understanding current events. These narratives not only elucidate ongoing conflicts to the Russian populace but also guide the formation of cooperative prospects and global understanding. They significantly influence public opinion and shape collective stances on contemporary issues. This study, drawing on agenda-setting (McCombs, Shaw) and framing (Goffman) theories, aims to examine the distinct characteristics of Russian propaganda's hybrid technologies within memorial practices and their role in shaping the “required” agenda. Survey results underpinning the research provide insight into the potential of commemorations in conducting information and hybrid warfare. Analysing the narratives propagated in the Ukrainian and Polish mass media, reliant on distorted historical facts and mechanisms for constructing a unified Soviet (with Russia) past, is crucial for fostering a secure information environment and enhancing media literacy among the public. Grasping and critically assessing these narratives are essential for navigating the challenges of information dissemination, guarding against misinformation, and cultivating a more enlightened society.

Abstract

Like any war, the war in Ukraine has an ideological dimension, and historical arguments are used both to legitimise the Russian invasion and to deconstruct Russian territorial claims. However, the war has become a catalyst for deeper processes than just immediate adjustments in historical policy. Almost all sides of the conflict refer to the concept of decolonisation in political and cultural dimensions, and historical awareness is treated as a crucial element of updated national identities. This article is dedicated to: 1) the utilisation of postcolonial dis-course in wartime public history, 2) the historical orientalisation of the enemy as a form of organising cultural differences, and 3) the formation of new national histories. These processes are examined from three perspectives: Ukrainian, Russian, and from the perspective of Siberian ethnic minorities.

Abstract

This paper attempts to reassess and reinterpret selected themes in the Polish post‑World War II historical discourse on the war of 1939. It focuses on the answers provided to three questions: could Poland have avoided or won the 1939 war, and should this war be regarded as a Polish defeat; in other words: it analyses the counterfactual scenarios regarding the military conflict itself and the immediate political developments before the war. It argues that although the so‑called historical alternatives are typically disregarded by the academic historiography as unprofessional, they are in fact omnipresent in their narratives and constitute a crucial part of the Polish discourse on 1939, as they are anchored both in Polish historical thinking and in the European tradition going back to Antiquity. Counterfactuals may possess some cognitive value of their own; most importantly, however, they respond to the ideological and political call of their time. This paper analyses the historical discourses of the communist and post‑communist periods, emphasising the continuity and correspondences between them, particularly as the concept of defeat and its im-plications are concerned. The paper attempts to illuminate the mechanism of production of these counterfactual scenarios about 1939 in a variety of narratives from 1945 up to the present day: academic syntheses and monographs, essays, and the amateurish historiography that seem

Abstract

This article analyses three novels of exceptional content and form, written at the end of the 20th century by Graham Swift, Penelope Lively, and William H. Gass, where the main characters are historians.

The historians’ portraits that emerge in the novels Waterland, Moon Tiger and The Tunnel are complicated, melodramatic personalities, rebellious figures bearing a complex fate who try to come to terms with the outcomes of their traumas. They live through the crisis resulting from their traumas and the change of time regimes, reflect on the meaning of the historian’s work, the value of history to people and society, and try to find an answer to the question of whether the ability to tell stories will help them deal with the scars history leaves behind as it breaks people’s destinies.

How should historians read and interpret these novels? Can the imagery of a scholar examining the past or lecturing on history created in the pages of a novel tell us something new about how today’s society understands the work done by a historian? How can such portraits of a historian (historians) help us in our analysis of society’s self‑awareness, its experience of time, and historical sensibility?

This article seeks answers to the questions raised above.

Abstract

The main goal of this article is to analyse the map published in 1568 by Matthias Zündt (1498‑1572), titled Tabula complectens totam Belgicam.... This artefact of early modern carto-graphy located nowadays in the collection of the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków depicts the Low Countries and surrounding lands at the onset of the Dutch anti‑Spanish uprising. In addition to topographical details, the Nuremberg‑based cartographer included illustrations of political events and annotated them with commentary, creating a historical narrative. While the year of 1568 is the main axis of the events and concentrates on the battle of Heiligerlee and the first invasion of William of Orange of Brabant in the autumn of the same year, Zündt creates broader context putting the Low Countries into the centre of European rivalry between great powers: France, the Holy Roman Empire, England and Denmark—the key to the Baltic sea trade. This interpretation is suggested by the figures of four knights riding on sea monsters and bearing representative flags. This narrative is subjected to a comparative analysis with chronicle‑like works and contemporary relational engravings of the authorship of men like Johannes Sleidanus or Frans Hogenberg. The key questions addressed in this text are to what extent Zündt may have drawn inspiration from the works of contemporary writers, humanists and engravers, where did he obtain his knowledge of the events depicted, and what constitutes the historical narrative presented in his map.

Abstract

Several case studies explore the plurality of historical accounts discussing past events of limited scope. In this paper, I focus on two historical works about the history of Europe. I show that even works of this large a scale offer specific perspectives on how to approach the past. After analysing two historical books I explore the background and the views of their authors which motivate their accounts. My examination implies it is problematic to see historical works as straightforward representations, for it is implausible to analyse them in terms of a correspon-dence between historical texts and the past reality. Hence, I use the case study to challenge representationalism. Instead, I argue, history should be approached differently, along the lines of non-representationalism focusing on the concrete steps historians take, on the special origin of their works and specific motivation informing their accounts.

Abstract

The main aim of the article is an attempt to answer the question of to what extent the analytical frame of the biographical method allows a new approach to the problem of the different experiences of the participants of March '68. Using Fritz Schütze’s concept of "biographical process structures", the author tries to go beyond the existing patterns of interpreting interviews with representatives of the generation of '68 in Poland in the broad sense. The intention of the research proposal formulated in this way is not to undermine existing findings in this area, but to deepen and nuance them. On a broader level, the author is interested in the question of the possible benefits and dangers stemming from the implementation of elements of a qualitative sociology framework into research conducted from the perspective of oral history. The source basis for the analysis proposed in the text are interviews with participants of the so-called March events in Łódź.

Abstract

The article concerns changes in the perception of historical science in Poland, its identity, and the specificity and boundaries from the perspective of academic historians of the younger generation. Reflections on the condition of history in Poland today focus heavily on its relations with the social sciences. The starting point is usually the statement that the autonomy of historical science is weakening and its distinctiveness and coherence are becoming limited. The article is about the practices and beliefs of the younger generation of Polish historians. The article is written from the perspective of the sociology of science, based on interviews conducted among researchers of the past, selected for their exploratory and open approach. I was particularly interested in the influence of the social sciences on history. Strategies for building academic careers were also an important thread in the interviews. The issue of international mobility and participation in the global circulation of science is seen from the perspective of the core-periphery division.

Abstract

In this paper, I aim to analyse Thomas Piketty’s latest book, Capital and Ideology, from both the methodological and historiographical perspectives. What kind of presuppositions does Piketty adopt in his research focusing on the history of so‑called inequality regimes? Does he continue to create historical knowledge in order to propose social and political solutions concerning contemporary world issues? What role does the notion of ideology play in the book? These questions outline the structure of my argument presented in the following paper. Then, I show how Piketty understands the concept of ideology and how he weaves it into the concept of inequality regimes. It consists of three elements: the system of ownership, the political dimen-sion, and ideology. A good illustration of this intertwining, as I demonstrate, is the French ownership system of the 19th century. Importantly, ideology for Piketty does not mean a dis-course that has the characteristics of hypocrisy; rather, it defines certain ways of thinking that are insurmountable for a given regime. This is evidenced, for example, by discussions about re-parations for slavery, which are directed towards former owners rather than the enslaved, as I elaborate in the text.

Abstract

This interview with Dutch historian Jan Lucassen explores his intellectual journey from student activism to developing analytical frameworks that challenge both Marxist orthodoxy and Western‑centric historiography. Lucassen discusses his approach to writing accessible yet rig-orous history, shaped by the principle of explaining academic work to thinking citizens regard-less of their educational background. The conversation examines his departure from Marxist analysis, leading to the development of alternative methodological approaches in labour history. Lucassen reflects on his role in building the research department at the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam, creating an international scholarly community focused on com-parative analysis across different geographical and temporal contexts. The interview addresses contemporary concerns about artificial intelligence and automation in relation to historical patterns of technological change and labour displacement. The conversation concludes with reflections on mentoring doctoral students and the collaborative nature of historical research.

Abstract

This article provides a critical analysis of Marcin Jarząbek's 'Handbook of Oral History', ex-amining its contribution to oral history methodology and practice. The review highlights the Handbook's approach to teaching oral history methods, from theoretical foundations to practical applications. The book successfully combines theoretical knowledge with practical guidance, making it accessible to both academic and non‑academic audiences. It covers key aspects of oral history work well, including interview preparation, interviewing, interpretation, and archiving. A particular strength of the Handbook is its detailed treatment of memory mechanisms and their implications for oral history research. While the book excels in its methodological guidance, some areas, such as its dealing with trauma‑related interviews and ethical challenges in different cultural contexts, could benefit from more detailed coverage. Nevertheless, the Handbook makes a significant contribution to the field, effectively positioning oral history at the intersection of different disciplines while maintaining its distinctive methodological identity. The review argues that this work successfully bridges the gap between academic rigour and practical application, making it an invaluable resource for oral history practitioners.

Editors always precludes business needs from compromising intellectual and ethical standards.

Maintain the integrity of the academic record: The editors will guard the integrity of the published academic record by issuing corrections and retractions when needed and pursuing suspected or alleged research and publication misconduct. Plagiarism and fraudulent data is not acceptable.

Editorial board always be willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when needed.

Retractions of the articles: Journals editors will consider retracting a publication if:
- they have a clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g. data fabrication) or honest error (e.g. miscalculation or experimental error)
- the findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper cross-referencing, permission or justification (cases of redundant publication)
- it constitutes plagiarism or reports unethical research.

Notice of the retraction should be linked to the retracted article (by including the title and authors in the retraction heading), clearly identify the retracted article and state who is retracting the article. Retraction notices should always mention the reason(s) for retraction to distinguish honest error from misconduct.

Retracted articles will not be removed from printed copies of the journal nor from electronic archives but their retracted status will be indicated as clearly as possible.


DUTIES OF AUTHORS


Reporting standards: Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. The paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. The fabrication of results and making of fraudulent or inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and may cause rejection or retraction of a manuscript or a published article.

Originality and plagiarism: Authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others they need to be cited or quoted. Plagiarism and fraudulent data is not acceptable.

Data access retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw data for editorial review, should be prepared to provide public access to such data, and should be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication of their paper.

Multiple or concurrent publication: Authors should not in general publish a manuscript describing essentially the same research in more than one journal. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Authorship of the manuscript: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the report study. All those who have made contributions should be listed as co-authors.

Acknowledgement of sources: The proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. The authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the scope of the reported work.

Fundamental errors in published works: When the author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.


DUTIES OF REVIEWERS

Contribution to editorial decisions: Peer reviews assist the editor in making editorial decisions and may also help authors to improve their manuscript.

Promptness: Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its timely review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself/herself from the review process.

Confidentiality: All manuscript received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except those authorized by the editor.

Standards of objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with appropriate supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of sources: Reviewers should identify the relevant published work that has not been cited by authors. Any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper should be reported to the editor.

Disclosure and conflict of Interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.
