  • The Election Attitudes Among the Polish Minority Inhabiting the Region of Zaolzie in the Czech Republic (1990-2018)
    https://doi.org/10.4316/CC.2020.01.008 THE ELECTION ATTITUDES AMONG THE POLISH MINORITY INHABITING THE REGION OF ZAOLZIE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC (1990-2018) Radosław ZENDEROWSKI Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw, Poland E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The paper analyses the election activity of the Polish inhabitants of the Zaolzie region (the Czech Republic) in the 1990-2018 period referring to national elections (Lower Chamber of Parliament, Senate, President of the Czech Republic) as well as local and regional elections. The theoretical section offers analyses of national and ethnic minorities as (collective) political actors. The empirical part provides an in-depth analysis of the votes in particular elections, taking into consideration the communes with a significant rate of Polish inhabitants as well as those communes there the Polish ethnos was rather scarce. The ethnic affiliation has been considered as a vital independent variable of the choices made; however, other variables explaining election behaviour have also been indicated. Keywords: Zaolzie, Czech Republic, Polish national minority, elections, politics Rezumat. Atitudinile electorale în rândul minorității poloneze din Regiunea Zaolzie a Republicii Cehe (1990-2018). Articolul analizează problema activității electorale a locuitorilor polonezi din regiunea Zaolzie (Republica Cehă) în perioada 1990-2018, refe- rindu-se la alegerile naționale (Camera inferioară a Parlamentului, Senatul, președintele Re- publicii Cehe), precum și la alegerile regionale și locale. Secțiunea teoretică prezintă minorită- țile naționale și etnice ca actori politici (colectivi). Partea empirică oferă o analiză aprofundată a voturilor la anumite alegeri, luând în considerare comunele cu o pondere semnificativă de locuitori polonezi, precum și acele comune unde etnicii polonezi sunt puțini la număr.

  • National Minorities in the Polish- -Czechoslovak Relations (1948–1989)

In the light of the author’s research, the nationalist heritage of border disputes from the first half of the 20th century influenced relations between the two countries also in later years, although the minority problem in their mutual relations was marginal and officially did not exist for both sides. Introduction There is no doubt that national minorities, and especially the issue of Cieszyn (Te- schen, Těšín) Silesia, have always been an important albeit complicated issue in the history of the Polish-Czechoslovak relations. Apart from the rivalry between War- saw and Prague over leadership in Central European politics, the Polish authorities and most Poles had an emotional attitude to the defeat in the border dispute with Prague in 1918–1920. Most Poles believed that the decision made on 28 VII 1920 by the Council of Ambassadors about the division of Cieszyn Silesia did not solve NATIONAL MINORITIES IN POLISH-CZECHOSLOVAK RELATIONS 19 the fate of 100,000 of their compatriots in Czechoslovakia, mostly natives, living in the western part of the region referred to Poland as Zaolzie (the land beyond the river Olza1) while their return to homeland was only a matter of time.

Diplomová práce se zabývá československými úřady, které vznikly na území Těšínského Slezska, Oravy a Spiše po rozhodnutí Nejvyšší rady o vykonání plebiscitu. Československo i Polsko si od podzimu 1918 nárokovalo území Těšínska, Oravy a Spiše a spor obou států vyvrcholil v lednu 1919 tzv. sedmidenní válkou. Jelikož se Polsko s Československem nedokázaly přátelsky dohodnout, na sporném území měl proběhnout plebiscit – lid si měl sám zvolit, v jakém státě chce žít. Vládu nad plebiscitním územím 3. února 1920 převzala Mezinárodní komise složená ze zástupců dohodových mocností, která správně rozdělila Těšínsko na západní a východní prefekturu. Západní prefektura, v jejímž čele stanul prefekt, který přímo podléhal Mezinárodní komisi, spadala pod československou správu. Při Mezinárodní komisi vznikl Úřad delegáta republiky československé. Československá delegace úzce spolupracovala s komisí na přípravě plebiscitu a správě území. V květnu 1920 byla ustanovena Mezinárodní subkomise pro Oravu a Spiš a pro spolupráci s ní vznikl samostatný Úřad subdelegáta.

  • A Guide for Readers and Teachers
    Six Thousand Miles to Home: A Guide for Readers and Teachers This guide collates notes relevant to the socio-cultural and historical contexts of the novel Six Thousand Miles to Home. It is organized according to the narrative’s chronology and divided according to the novel’s three major sections and their respective chapters. Background material—about Jewish life in both Poland and Iran—precedes the sections of the book set in those countries. In between the notes for each chapter are historical “snapshots,” most of them derived from primary source material, and which serve to illustrate events described in the novel. Please check back at this web page for revised versions of this free guide. JEWISH LIFE IN POLAND, SILESIA, AND TESCHEN Numerous volumes recount in detail the thousand-year history of Jews in Poland as well as the circumstances particular to the Silesian Duchy of Teschen and its Jewish inhabitants.1 What follows here is a summary. Medieval Period Jews inhabited Poland since at least the tenth century when, fleeing persecution in German territories, they made their way east.2 One legend recounts that a scrap of paper directed them to “Polaniaya,” a Hebrew name for Poland, which they interpreted as meaning “Here God dwells.” They arrived in a forest where they heard the word Polin, another Hebrew name for Poland, which they interpreted as “Po-lin,” “Rest here.” In some versions [of the legend], a cloud broke and an angel’s hand pointed the way and a voice said “Po-lin.” According to [another] version […], Jews entering the forest discovered tractates of the Talmud carved on the trees; in other versions, pages of the sacred texts floated down.3 This story begins in a town called Teschen (called Cieszyn both before and after the time of this narrative) was populated by Slavic peoples by at least the seventh century.

  • Sprachliche Verhältnisse Im Heutigen Polnischen Teil Des Teschener Schlesiens - Ein Historischer Überblick Language Relations in the Teschen Silesia
    Grzegorz M. Chromik Jagiellonen-Universität Kraków Sprachliche Verhältnisse im heutigen polnischen Teil des Teschener Schlesiens - ein historischer Überblick Language Relations in the Teschen Silesia Abstract: The article presents the language relations of Polish, Czech and German language in all cities and villages of Teschen Silesia from the Middle Ages until 1918. The oldest information are the names of inhabitants showing their ethnic origin. 'Ihe first explicit information about the languages spoken in all the region is given in the book of Reginald Kneifei Topographie des kaiserl. kiinigl. Antheils von Schlesien (vol. 2) from 1804. In the 19"' century there is exact data from the Austrian census. 'Ihe changes in the percentage participation of the speakers are explained, for example because of new factories or railway stations which attracted Germans. Keywords: Teschen Silesia, Cieszyn Silesia, Austrian Silesia, language contact, language relation Der Beitrag bringt statistische Angaben zu Sprachverhältnissen in ausgewählten Ortschaften im Teschener Schlesien um die Wende vom 18. zum 19. Jahrhundert. Als erste werden immer historische Informationen zu der jeweiligen sprachlichen Situation angegeben, falls solche überhaupt vorhanden sind. Zu der ältesten Pe­ riode (Mittelalter und frühe Neuzeit) liegen so gut wie keine expliziten Angaben zum Sprachgebrauch vor. Die einzigen Quellen sind kirchliche Informationen über die Sprache der Predigt in der lokalen Pfarrkirche und die Familiennamen. Bei Ortschaften, die keine Kirche hatten und woanders eingepfarrt waren, fehlen solche Angaben gänzlich. Auch Familiennamen sind keine zuverlässige Quelle, da sie beim Sprachwechsel unverändert bleiben. Bevor die Sprache zum Gegen­ stand statistischer Erhebungen wurde, gab es nur spärliche Informationen zum Sprachgebrauch. Eine der ersten Quellen, die das Problem der Mehrsprachigkeit im Teschener Schlesien berücksichtigte, war das Werk von Kn eifel (1804).

  • Western Carpathians, Poland)
    Geological Quarterly, 2006, 50 (1): 169–194 Late Jurassic-Miocene evolution of the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt and its foredeep basin (Western Carpathians, Poland) Nestor OSZCZYPKO Oszczypko N. (2006) — Late Jurassic-Miocene evolution of the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt and its foredeep basin (Western Carpathians, Poland). Geol. Quart., 50 (1): 169–194. Warszawa. The Outer Carpathian Basin domain developed in its initial stage as a Jurassic-Early Cretaceous rifted passive margin that faced the east- ern parts of the oceanic Alpine Tethys. Following closure of this oceanic basin during the Late Cretaceous and collision of the Inner Western Carpathian orogenic wedge with the Outer Carpathian passive margin at the Cretaceous-Paleocene transition, the Outer Carpathian Basin domain was transformed into a foreland basin that was progressively scooped out by nappes and thrust sheets. In the pre- and syn-orogenic evolution of the Outer Carpathian basins the following prominent periods can be distinguished: (1) Middle Juras- sic-Early Cretaceous syn-rift opening of basins followed by Early Cretaceous post-rift thermal subsidence, (2) latest Creta- ceous-Paleocene syn-collisional inversion, (3) Late Paleocene to Middle Eocene flexural subsidence and (4) Late Eocene-Early Miocene synorogenic closure of the basins. In the Outer Carpathian domain driving forces of tectonic subsidence were syn-rift and thermal post-rift processes, as well as tectonic loads related to the emplacement of nappes and slab-pull. Similar to other orogenic belts, folding of the Outer Carpathians commenced in their internal parts and progressed in time towards the continental foreland. This process was initi- ated at the end of the Paleocene at the Pieniny Klippen Belt/Magura Basin boundary and was completed during early Burdigalian in the northern part of the Krosno Flysch Basin.
