Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses the inter-war period from the perspective of longue durée processes study. For the analysis, the author uses ethnographic data concerning architecture and housing in three Slovak rural settlements. The paper aims to discuss the periodicity of the 20th century history, based on the important political events. Ethnographic data from the inter-war Slovak countryside emphasizes ambiguity of this period. The key argument is the statement, that dynamism of the processes in the microsocial structures, concerning everyday culture of the ordinary people, has different character and different impact than the processes on the macrosocial level.
