The official relations between Poland and Japan started in 1919. Throughout the entire interwar era, till December 1945, when Poland declared war on Japan, they were friendly, although due to geopolitical conditions not especially intense. After the war, the Iron Curtain fell deeper between East and West, and the division between the two camps became sharper. Post-war Poland became totally dependent on the USSR, which impacted the Polish foreign policy towards Japan. This paper examines the negotiations between Poland and Japan which proceeded in the years 1947–1957, and the problem of reestablishing official relations between the two countries after the war.

Bulgaria was liberated from Ottoman rule in 1878. Despite its vassal statute in regard to the Ottoman Empire which was defined in the Treaty of Berlin, the Principality established proper diplomatic relations with Romania for there were many bilateral problems waiting to be settled. During the period in question there were good examples of bilateral cooperation as also confrontation between the two countries. The two sides made no progress in resolving the border question around the town of Silistra, but worked together to gain their equal rights in controlling the Danube navigation. The bilateral dialogue was facilitated by the Bulgarian diplomatic agents in Bucharest. Since Sofia had no other previous experience with such kind of personnel, it chose well educated and influential persons to represent Bulgaria in Romania. While the first two of them, Evlogi Georgiev and Kiriak Tsankov weren’t enough active to develop the diplomatic relations between the two countries, it was Grigor Nachovich who was perceived as the right man on the right place. He worked hard not only for improving the bilateral relations but also for protecting the Bulgarian interests in Bucharest.

Since the middle of the 1990s, more than 25,000 North Koreans have settled in South Korea, and researchers estimate that a further 20,000 North Korean refugees have migrated mainly to China, Southeast Asia, America, and Europe. Many of these refugees cite economic factors as the main motive for their escape, which more or less coincided with the North Korean famine, but before the 1990s there were two other periods that saw relatively large-scale emigration from North Korea, which occurred for other reasons. This paper identifies and compares the three periods, using archival sources from Korea, Hungary, and the former Soviet Union. It also uses the representative case of a North Korean medical student in Hungary to provide a unique perspective on a number of important historical events, including the August Incident in North Korea and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
