Keywords: Culture, 20th Century, Changes, Stalinism, Komunism, Nazi occupation The 20th century is now a closed chapter and is gradually becoming, even in its final stage, the property of historical researchers. The people who entered it as small children are practically all dead today. The people who entered their productive age in its second half are reaching into their senior years today. Those who made up its image in the last quarter are gradually and irreversibly getting closer to a senior age. After the so-called “long 19th century”, the 20th century was much “shorter”. In many ways it only began in 1914; i.e., at the outbreak of the Great War, which we now call the First World War or World War One. It ended ten years before its “chronological end”, connected with a completely new re-formatting of the power and political situations around the world.1 1 This study originated within the framework of fulfilling the tasks of the project Historisa- tion of Central Europe, which has been introduced at the Institute of Historical Sciences of the Arts & Humanities Faculty of the Silesian University in Opava. The program is be- ing implemented thanks to financial support provided by European social funds and the 7 Processes of Cultural Exchange in Central Europe 1800 - 2000 It is thus by and large logical that even at present the 20th century receives various attributes and generalising characteristics. Very often it is described as the age of totalitarianism and dictatorships. If we consider this issue, then, in light of the creation and existence of totalitarian regimes, we should regard such a proposition as true. That is to say, the development of all social structures, even if seemingly paradoxically, threw the doors wide open for the entry of totalitarian regimes. It was a completely new quality of interconnecting all parts of the indi- vidual and social being into one all-controlling unit represented by one all power- ful political component or organisation. A classical example was the Communist political system originating in Russia and spreading into a number of countries in Europe, Asia, Africa as well as America. At the same time, it is not possible to ignore the fact that it exhibited a number of differences in various geographical conditions and that, even if it was represented by the Soviet Union, it internally developed here as well as in other countries. Another totalitarian regime was Nazism and, to a certain extent, related fas- cism. The core of this system was unquestionably formed by Hitler’s “Third Reich”. However, it existed for a far shorter period than the Communist system, but even so, it threw the world into deep decline. Besides this, there were also other totalitarian regimes, which, however, were related only to restricted territories. We will mention as an example Cambodia under the government of the Khmer Rouge. If we consider that all totalitarian regimes resulted in deep crises or even catastrophes, than the attribute of the century of totalitarianism and catastrophes could be quite appropriate. And if we add the fact that most countries around the world were controlled for a part of this time period or even for the whole period by dictatorships, semi-dictatorships or authoritarian regimes, then this characteristic will be even strengthened. Another possible and fully legitimate attribute characterising the 20th cen- tury could be the “age of dynamic development”. In spite of the facts mentioned in the previous paragraphs, mankind as a whole had never before experienced such dynamic developmental progress as in
