This book is a document of anti-Roma racism in German (more exactly Bavarian) routine administration. Thirty years before NAZI racism came to power the Ministry for Internal Affairs had developed a project (in 2020 we would call it a “big-data-project”) of identification and detailed registration of all Sinti, Roma and Egyptians in Bavaria. The author Alfred Dillmann, a high-ranking member of the Munich Police staff, published this book a partly a manual for other civilian and police administrators, in its main part he is listing the first results of such registration-activities at the moment of publication.This book is a document of Anti-Gypsies racism in German (more exactly Bavarian) routine administration three decades before NAZI racism came to power. In 1899, under Dillmann's leadership in Munich, the "Intelligence Service for the Security Police Regarding Gypsies", for short "Gypsy Headquarter", began by creating a file of all "Gypsies" in Germany who were older than six years. In addition to identification data, genealogical data and above all information on delinquency were also collected. In 1905, Dillmann's Gypsy Book was compiled from this collection, which contained details of 3,350 people and was made available to the police departments. (WIKIPEDIA). Alfred Dillmann, who made his career up to the rank of a president of the Royal Bavarian Police, published this book as partly a manual for other civilian and police administrators; however, in its main part he is listing the first results of such registration-activities of the past 8 years.

Die Albanesen und die Großmächte

Author(s): Vladan Đorđević / Language(s): German

At the end of 1912, the Kingdom of Serbia occupied most of the Albanian-populated territory to the Adriatic coast. The army of Montenegro was present around Shkodër. During the attempt to annex the lands, Serbian and Montenegrin armies committed numerous crimes against the local Albanian population. (Wikipedia). The author, nevertheless, starts his book with the sentence: „The appearance and establishment of the victorious Serb armies on the east coast of the Adriatic worked miracles.“. The author (former Serbian Prime-Minister from 1897 to 1900) makes the attempt to add with this book to the „military establishment“ of the Serbian appearance in the Albanian lands a „political establishment“ oft he Serbian interests in conflict with both the Italian and the Austrian interests in the region.

Die nationale Minderheit

Author(s): Otto Junghann / Language(s): German

In the present publication the attempt has been made to convey an idea of the main aspects of the minority problem with just a few strokes. On the one hand, the fundamentals should come out as clearly as possible - on the other, the diversity of the phenomena of life that oppose the seeker for a problem solution should at least be hinted at. The attempt is made to show the place that the minority question occupies within the broader context of world events. Given the limited volume of the booklet, there can be no question of an exhaustive treatment of the question. The concrete statements about the actual situation also required extreme restrictions. The figures used in the text and in the tables in the appendix are based on the latest studies by the German Society for Nationality Law, Berlin-Steglitz, unless they are taken from the 1930 Ethno-Political Almanac published on behalf of the Berlin-Steglitz Institute for Border and Foreign Studies.

Europäisches Schicksal

Author(s): Konrad Heiden / Language(s): German

Published in 1937 by Querido-Verlag (Amsterdam) the author offers an essay about the situation of Modern Civilization facing the results of sociographic, technical, intellectual, cultural and political development since the industrial revolution. // Konrad Heiden (born August 7, 1901 in Munich, † June 18, 1966 in New York City) was a German-American journalist and political writer who wrote Hitler's first substantial biography in 1936. // The social democratic journalist has been writing about the political scene in Munich since the early 1920s and thus became one of the earliest observers and a staunch opponent of the Nazi movement and Adolf Hitler. After Hitler came to power, Heiden fled to the USA via several stations and obtained American citizenship in the 1950s. Heiden dealt primarily with the ideology and character of National Socialism. // After his death, Heiden and his writings were quickly forgotten. Since 2007, however, his works on Hitler and National Socialism have been reprinted or re-edited in German for the first time.

Federal Europe being the Case for European Federation together with a Draft Constitution of a United States of Europe

Author(s): Kim Ronald William Gordon Mackay / Language(s): English

First published in 1940 (London) by Michael Joseph Ltd. Publisher. // „This book has been written, as the reader will readily realise, in the all too scanty leisure of a very busy professional life. As a lawyer with some knowledge and experience of the federal systems in Australia and America I have felt for some time that I should like to make an early contribution to the discussion of this very important subject. I always think that when any proposals are to be made, whether for a business arrangement, a merger or a piece of social reform, they can be much better understood and appreciated when they are reduced to the form of a draft agreement or a draft bill. A legal document, for all the terrors it arouses, has a shape which is at once concrete, definite and specific. In the case of the federal idea, therefore, I have attempted to translate the concept of a Federal Europe into the draft Constitution of a United States of Europe, with all the detail and paraphernalia which a federal Constitution involves. Such a course has obvious disadvantages. In drafting a Constitution, one must put forward a complete scheme, naming the countries which are to join the Federation, and describing the nature of the machinery of government. No one can be certain to-day which countries will exist at the end of this war, and any scheme of Federation for Europe will be the work of many hands. However, the Constitution has been drafted, so as to be of some practical assistance to those interested in this important question.“ (author’s introduction)

La Situation Juridique des Macédoniens en Yougoslavie

Author(s): Karl Strupp / Language(s): French

Published in 1929 by LES PRESSES UNIVERSITAIRES DE FRANCE (Fontenay-aux-Roses). // Author’s resumé : Be that as it may: From all of the above, it emerges in my personal opinion, after studying a whole literature that I have examined, that the nationals of Yugoslavia, from Macedonia which became Serbian- Croatian-Slovenian, constitute, within the meaning of the Minority Treaty of September 19, 1919, an ethnic minority. They are distinguished, from an objective point of view, first of all by their history, which, often common, never materialized in the sense of a more intense feeling, and never constituted a simple relation between victors and vanquished, that precisely the situation of the Macedonians fugitives in Bulgaria is the same as that of the partisans of the O.R.I.M., in Yugoslavia. These nationals differ by language. The latest scientific research, by M. Weigand (183) (perhaps the current best connoisseur of Macedonia), and others as well, have given convincing proof of this. From their investigations it emerges that, while the Serbs know neither the article nor the variation, it is the Macedonians who, like the Bulgarians, make extensive use of it. If on the other hand, famous Serbian scholars, for example the geographer M. Cvijic, wanted to incorporate the Macedonians in Serbia, it is because they celebrate, like these, "Slava". But we must not lose sight of the fact that many peoples have accepted the custom of the Christmas tree, without anyone concluding that they are of Germanic nationality.

Aspects of the Macedonian Question

Author(s): Lazar Koliševski / Language(s): English

This book contains only some of the speeches, articles and statements by Lazar Koliševski published in his first book in the Macedonian language (which has seen three editions). Despite this limitation, we believe that the reader will become well acquainted with the historical past of the Macedonian people, the Yugoslav policy on the national question and the Yugoslav views on relations with its neighbouring countries. All this, it is hoped, may contribute to a better understanding of the present-day Yugoslav reality. (the editorial introduction)

KOSOVO. Ištine i Zablude

Author(s): Sinan Hasani / Language(s): Croatian

Published 1986 in Zagreb by the » Centar za informacije i publicitet «. // EDITOR’s INTRODUCTION: This book from the edition "Anatomy of a Conspiracy" is entitled "Kosovo - Truths and Misconceptions", and its author is Sinan Hasani, a well-known socio-political worker and writer. Given that these are well-known events, but very complex and contradictory, the author found himself in a really difficult role, to consciously and critically comprehensively analyze the events to which he was partly a witness. It was a challenge for an excellent analyst and writer to turn the exceptionality of authentic testimony into an interesting political-sociological study. In an extensive and documented book, the author fulfilled these tasks in its entirety. By placing the events he writes about in the wider space and complexity of socio-economic and national relations, not only in the narrower area of Kosovo but also within Yugoslavia, observing Yugoslav-Albanian relations and in the broader Balkans and Europe, the author confirms his literary work equally well. talent as the book itself ranks in the good fundus of Marxist political journalism in our country.

Une Politique Erronée. Lecture de l’histoire et la confiance en Bosnie

Author(s): Rusmir Mahmutćehajić / Language(s): French

The world order constitutes, it is true, the environment in which the Bosnian state, after it had been internationally recognized, was brought to its destruction, but this only where the aggressors achieved it, having been confronted to unexpected resistance from Bosnian forces from within. The analysis of this situation therefore also represents a definition and interpretation of its logic model on a global scale. The events in question bear witness to the intention to destroy Bosnia by all means, including the total annihilation of the Bosnian being, through extermination and genocide. Their consequences today can be summed up as follows: the Bosnians survived only where they defended themselves, and the state of Bosnia, for the sole reason that the aggressors failed to break down the relentless resistance and unexpected from those whose disappearance they had programmed. The effects of this destruction have brought to light the enigma posed by the character of the Bosnian struggle for survival. We would like to give to the whole of this resistance, both outside and inside, a content that would not be Bosnian, in order to reduce the idea of ​​the protection of the Bosnian state to just one of its components, thus confirming the deformation and degradation of the Bosnian being himself. // PUBLISHED IN 2005 BY DURIEUX PUBLISHING HOUSE BASED IN ZAGREB

EVALUAREA PERFORMANȚELOR DEZVOLTĂRII ECONOMICE VERZI ÎN MOLDOVA. Raport național bazat pe setul OECD de indicatori ai creşterii verzi

Author(s): Lilia Toma / Language(s): Romanian

The concept of green economy is promoted in the Republic of Moldova as a model of social and economic development, which must result in economic growth, improvement of welfare and social equity. Such an economy must be low-carbon, resource-efficient and socially inclusive, with a significant reduction in environmental risks and the impact on public health. // Efforts to green the Moldovan economy have been strengthened by the creation of the Inter-ministerial Working Group on Promoting Sustainable Development and the Green Economy and the elaboration of the Roadmap for the Promotion of the Green Economy in Moldova by identifying short- and medium-term actions during 2018-2020 and the Environmental Strategy for 2014-2023. // In this context, the evaluation of the performances of green economic development in the Republic of Moldova must become an integral part of a sustainable economic and environmental governance. This report supports these activities, providing the basis and setting the national framework for monitoring and implementing green growth indicators, including the roadmap for promoting the green economy.

Roumains et Hongrois. Prémisses Historiques

Author(s): C. Sassu / Language(s): French

The economic crises, political tensions and troubled situations which have afflicted humanity during these last two decades since 1918, would be due, to a large extent, to the layout of these borders considered as artificial, because of them, we would have abolished consolidated units. And the course of these borders would have been made by force and by surprise i by force, because we would have imposed by violence conditions impossible on an adversary without the right of reply or of explanation, and, by surprise, by deceiving good faith of certain statesmen completely ignorant of the real situation in these regions. // As the current border between Hungary and Romania is also disputed with a great deal of passion by this development, which seems to assume that continually repeated assertions end up being accepted as true, by the mere fact of their being uttered, this work is confined to the subject proposed and aims to explain, as far as possible, the real value of these statements. We hope that minds not blinded by passion and disinterested, will find it useful and opportune to know the real elements of a controversy so ostentatiously stirred, and presented as one of the great unresolved political problems of the present time. // Published in 1940 by Editions „Cugetarea—P.

БЪЛГАРСКАТА ОБЩЕСГВЕНОСТЬ ЗА РАСИЗМА И АНТИСЕМИТИЗМА. Анкета между видни представители на българската общественость, наука, литература, изкуство

Author(s): / Language(s): Bulgarian

ONE of the main tasks of the Jewish intelligentsia is to combat racial hatred and anti-Semitism. Centuries-old prejudices and open incitements on the part of prominent public circles create an atmosphere of hostility in some of the countries in Europe and America. Apart from the persecutions to which the ethnic minority elements are exposed in certain countries, the Jews are the object of a systematic and well-organized propaganda in most of the countries of south-eastern Europe. Especially in a great country, whose past speaks of a great rise in all fields of human genius, the Jews are de facto disenfranchised, as human beings and citizens, deprived of the opportunity to exercise their prerogatives as subjects of the country. … The offered book is the work of one editor whose efforts to illuminate and combat racism and anti-Semitism are known to the public.

Ieșirea din cerc. Politica externă a regimului Georghiu-Dej

Author(s): Mioara Anton / Language(s): Romanian

Mioara Anton, who has already stood out as one of the most authoritative representatives of the "new wave" of Romanian historiography, assumed the task, not easy, of providing an assessment of the Romanian-Soviet relations in the first two post-war decades through the prism of mutations produced from the model vassal stage to that of rebel ally. The work is both the result of the critic takeover and the integration of known historical sources and of the studies and works on the topic addressed directly, but also of their own and substantial research in the archives. The result was materialized in a synthesis work, by dimensions, but which excels by the number and quality of the original sources and by the originality of its structure and the accents put in the analysis. The author does not propose a work on the whole of the Romanian-Soviet relations, premature, given the current state of knowledge of sources and the stage of special research, but an incursion into the evolution of the relations between the political regimes in Romania and the Soviet Union through the prism of the perception and reaction of the communist leaders in Bucharest – first of all, Gheorghiu-Dej – towards the directives of the Kremlin. Mioara Anton thus offers both specialists and a wide circle of researchers the opportunity to know the essential segment of the Romanian-Soviet relations, as well as the necessary guide for the correct deciphering of the struggle for power control within the communist regime in Romania. Among the topics covered: Romania and the Soviet-Yugoslav schism; Khrushchev's secret report, withdrawal of Soviet troops, disputes with the Soviet Union in CAER, Khrushchev's visit to Romania in 1962, Romania's opening to the West, April 1964 declaration.

O vară fierbinte în relațiile româno-sovietice. Convorbirile de la Moscova din iulie 1964

Author(s): Vasile Buga / Language(s): Romanian

This volume includes the transcript of the conversations held in Moscow between 7-14 July 1964 between the delegation of the Romanian Workers Party (RWP), led by Ion Gheorghe Maurer, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the RWP, president of the Council of Ministers of the Romanian people's Republic, and the delegation of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), led by Nikolai V. Podgorny, member of the C.C. Presidium, and the transcript of the discussion held on the occasion of the reception of the Romanian delegation by Nikita S. Khrushchev, First Secretary of the C.C. of the CPSU, chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR. The author's interventions in the text were minimal, being dictated by the need to comply with the current spelling rules. The editor included in the volume the letters that preceded the organization of the visit of the Romanian delegation to Moscow, as well as the note of problems on the agenda of the Romanian-Soviet relations that the RWP delegation wanted to address in talks with the Soviet side.

Confesiunile elitei comuniste. România 1944-1965: Rivalităţi, represiuni, crime… Arhiva Alexandru Şiperco, Volumul III

Author(s): Andrei Șiperco / Language(s): Romanian

Starting with the ’70s until the revolution of December 1989, Alexandru Siperco conducted several hundred unofficial interviews, totaling thousands of pages, with 350 members and sympathizers from illegality of the Romanian Communist Party (RCP) – among them many former members of the Communist nomenklatura or of the repression apparatus during the Gheorghiu-Dej regime – but also with representatives of former historical parties, including Corneliu Coposu, Ioan Hudita and Camil Demetrescu. No one, neither in Romania nor in the rest of the states of the former communist bloc, has initiated and even less has managed to achieve such an approach that concerns the uncosmitized history of communism. For Alexandru Siperco, the determinant was his desire to know as much as possible of the period between April 4, 1944, and the moment of March 19, 1965, the death of Gheorghiu-Dej. From the interviews given to Alexandru Siperco are not missing events such as: the act of august 23; actions for the conquest of power; liquidation of the political opposition; the struggle for power in the RCP and its consequences; collectivization and monetary reform; the role of Soviet advisers; the activity of repressive bodies; the regime in communist prisons; relations with Moscow leaders; the Rajk, Slansk and Kostov trials; foreign policy; blackmail, betrayals, assassinations; friends and rivals. There are also memories of illegals regarding the period of political detention, the Civil War in Spain, the French Resistance and the political emigration to the U.S.S.R. The testimonies present in this volume: Ladislau Ady, Ronea Gheorghiu, Piotr Goncearuc, Solomon Graur, Octavian Groza, Charlotta Gruia, Nicolae Guina, Alexandru Iacob, Mircea Ioanid, Leon Petre Iosif, Dumitru Ivanovici, Thea Kaplan, Lev Kotlear, Corneliu Leu, Mihail Levente, Aurel Lieblich, Petre Lupu, Manole H.

Author(s): Vasile Buga / Language(s): Romanian

The present volume, based mostly on the works published in recent years in the Russian Federation, less or not known to the Romanian reader, tries to capture, as far as possible, the main moments that marked the political, economic and social developments in the former Soviet Union from the moment of Gorbachev's election as head of the CPSU CC (March 11, 1985), until the moment of collapse (December 25, 1991).
