Using the Schwartz value questionnaire data, in this paper we explore the relationships between the values of European, national and regional identities and second order value types that create the basic set of human values (self-transcendence, openness to change, self-enhancement, conservation). We also compare these relationships in Bratislava and other studied regions. Through semi-structured interviews we also investigate the reflection of these values in hopes and fears concerning the EU membership in “new” and “old” EU member states, focusing mainly on national identity issues. As expected, the position of regional, national and European identities within the second order values structure is related to the situation of the country regarding the national identity formation and regarding the transformations linked to the EU integration processes.

After the years 1945 -1948, the structure of scholarly life in Czechoslovakia changed dramatically. Pressure on the part of political regimes established during and immediately after the war strongly influenced the personality formation of young scholars and encouraged their conformity with official ideology. It also led to the partial loss of knowledge about previous generations of scholars. In some cases it resulted in career change, the concealment of politically incorrect personal information and contacts. The author traces the evolution of a former Slavic linguist, PhDr. Adam Pranda, CSc. (1924 -1984), explaining how he became the leading personality of Slovak ethnology during his lifetime. Some hitherto unknown biographical facts are disclosed which shed light on Pranda's career, thereby adding a deeperperspective to the history of postwar ethnology in Slovakia.
