Редакция журнала ≪Россика≫ решила посвятить памяти Карела Крамаржа (1860- 1937) блок материалов настоящего сборника. Это решение мотивировано необходимостью справедливой оценки политического пути Крамаржа, которую он заслужил. Не вызывает сомнений тот факт, что он допускал и ошибки, просчеты. Однако необходимо подчеркнуть, что его политические шаги всегда были мотивированы бескорыстным чувством патриотизма.

The question of the character of Buddhism — whether it belongs to the re alms of philosophy or religion — emerged in the early stages of Buddhist studies and is still valid to this day. It is often emphasised that the answer to this question depends on the definitions of the underlying key terms. Thus, some assert that Buddhism is a religion, some — a philosophy. Another opinion is that these terms are connected by a conjunction, rather than alternative denial, and therefore both can be applied to the description of Buddhism as they encompass its varied aspects. On a social and cultural level, Buddhism possesses all the characteristics of a religion, and on an individual level it comes across as a practical philosophy of life which belongs to the same philosophical model as ancient Stoicism, Epicureanism, or Neoplatonism.

In May 2021, the Andrei Sakharov Research Centre for Democratic Development at Vytautas Magnus University initiated a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the human rights activist, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Andrei Sakharov. The special issue of “Days and Deeds” is the final chord in a year-long celebration. Not only symbolic motives, but also the centenary and the desire to commemorate Sakharov’s importance led to the idea of the special issue, but also academic objectives: to revise the contemporary human rights discourse, looking for the link between learned phrases and the misunderstandings that continue to exist. Today’s life is permeated by media-created reality and comic characters, while the real heroes are quietly fading into oblivion. The recall of some of Sakharov’s activities and works, as well as the broader considerations of human rights in the region, becomes not only symbolic, but also very practical.

In the contemporary world, communication goes far beyond the well-known traditional written or spoken forms. For today’s digital users, these have become insufficient, as using them, they cannot express their thoughts fully. The youth that has developed its own language, has become more hermetic, but not because it rejects other generations. The reason is the inability of older generations to understand the new ways of communication. Seniors find it challenging to learn how to use new technologies and stay up to date with trends. Although young people are able to understand them, the older generation cannot keep up with the news and stays excluded. The lack of mutual understanding results in weaker bonds. Once again, it is possible to observe ICT as a contemporary key competence essential for an adequate, mutually comprehensible exchange of messages. The best way to connect two generations in this aspect is informal education, especially one focusing on intergenerational activities, which will not only reduce the exclusion of a social group such as seniors but will also let them to develop their critical thinking skills, which in the age of the Internet are crucial.
