The article deals with the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC – the first clash between the armies of the Corinthian League and the Persians during the great invasion of Hellas in 480–479 BC led by the Achaemenid ruler Xerxes. The recapitulation of the battle shows that its outcome had been pre-ordained. Leonidas and Spartan ephors knew in advance that the operation at Thermopylae was doomed, but they decided to carry it out and ordered Leonidas to defend the pass to the end, to show the other Hellenes the determination of Sparta to fight. In this context, Leonidas’s behavior was understandable – instead of leaving the position he could no longer safeguard, he ordered the majority of the Hellenic contingents to withdraw, and remained in the pass with the Spartans, Thebans and Thespians only. This deliberate sacrifice of basileus Leonidas and the elite of the Spartan aristocracy showed again Sparta’s readiness and determination to fight the Persians to the end at all costs

Serbskіja novini was issued in Vienna in 1791 and was intended for the Serbian readers in the Habsburg monarchy. The newspaper provided valuable information about the political life in the empire and in Europe and also reflected the events in Poland, which the Constitution of May 3, 1791 finally turned into revolutionary. The article examines the published reports from Poland. Most of them referred to the activity of the Polish Diet (deliberative assembly), to the adopted Constitution and the reaction of the Poles and the neighboring monarchies to changes in Warsaw. Albeit incomplete and not always accurately, Serbskіja novini introduced its readers in the events reflecting the zeitgeist

The article focuses on the lives and activities during the Cold War of two Bulgarian émigré intellectuals – Petar Ouvaliev aka Pierre Rouve (1915–1998) and Spas Raikin (1922–2014). Petar Ouvaliev, an immigrant to London since 1947, was a diplomat, university lecturer, translator, art critic, semiotician, and film producer and director. A man of enormous charm and erudition, as a BBC World Service broadcaster he discussed cultural and social issues, literature and art. After graduating from Columbia University in New York, for several decades Spas Raikin taught history at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania. Prof. Raikin published more than twenty books and a number of papers and articles. Studying the lives of these two Bulgarians, one can see how diverse things can be for an intellectual away from his original home. Petar Ouvaliev did not speak about politics to his radio audiences. He maintained contacts with many Bulgarian intellectuals from his home country. Spas Raikin, on his part, was engaged in émigré political activities in the United States and was Secretary General of the American Friends of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations. The differences between them notwithstanding, these two exiled intellectuals shared a common trait – love and nostalgia for the country of their birth and anxiety for its destiny both during and after the Cold War.

Interdyscyplinarne badania nad polską i ukraińską historią oraz współczesnością to – w obliczu wojny w Ukrainie – ważne zadanie dla Europy. W Niemczech, we Frankfurcie nad Odrą, pod auspicjami Europejskiego Uniwersytetu Viadrina (Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt Oder), 30 listopada 2023 roku uroczyście otwarto Centrum Studiów Polskich i Ukraińskich (VCPU).
