  • The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*

    The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*

    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

    Reflections on Contemporary Georgia – Vision from Czech Republic

    Reflections on Contemporary Georgia – Vision from Czech Republic Written by Bakar Berekashvili Note: This article is simultaneously published for the newspaper The Georgian Times on 15 October 2007 „There is no guarantee that the civil society is always benign. But we must take the risk. The civil society corresponds to the historical possibilities of man and history as a drama of good and evil. This is the dignity of man: the choice of good and evil.“ Merab Mamardashvili Brief Discourse on Georgia’s Desire to become European Democratic Country Georgia’s political and social aspirations are an open secret. These aspirations are based on country’s strong desire to build democracy and civil society in Georgia, to integrate into the European space of democratic and civic values and thus to confirm again for modern world that Georgia is a democratic European state. But definitely the task is not so simple, it is very challenging and still full with various obstacles. Georgia still has to pass a long way of democratization in order to achieve its democratic goals and finally to be formed not transitional democracy but real democracy in our own country. In Czech Republic, where I live now, it took approximately 10 years to become democratic country. Since 1989 when communism died in this country, Czech Republic started rapid consolidation of democratic values that was doubtlessly led by Václav Havel. Currently, Czech Republic returned to its hostorical roots and enjoys to be democratic European country. However, here I mean no way that there are no problems in Czech Republic and that here we have absolute democracy.

  • The Grand Duchy of Lithuania As a Successor of Rome in the Early

    The Grand Duchy of Lithuania As a Successor of Rome in the Early

    Open Political Science, 2018; 1: 170–181 Research Article Joanna Orzeł* From imagination to political reality? The Grand Duchy of Lithuania as a successor of Rome in the early modern historiography (15th–18th centuries)# https://doi.org/10.1515/openps-2018-0015 received December 17, 2018; accepted December 31, 2018. Abstract: At the beginning of the Renaissance Lithuanians understood that to join the civilization of Western Europe, it was necessary to have an appropriate (it means: very long) tradition. Like other countries, they had to create their own myth of origin. The most prestigious tradition was Greek-Roman antiquity, so the country’s origin story was invented, claiming its people descended directly from Rome. According to subsequent chronicles, the founder of the new state was Palemon (Publius Libon, initially Vilia). Using the theory of cultural memory of Jan and Aleida Assmann, the article presents how and why the Lithuanian myth of origin was transformed from 15th to the end of the 18th century. Particular attention was paid to the current needs of the state and the powerful noble families of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which also found their origins in the state myth. During the early modern period, the changes in the story were made (including the date of Palemon’s arrival in the Lithuanian lands). Nonetheless, the myth was not questioned for a long time. Even once it had already been established that it was no more than a fairy tale, the story was revived again, performing other functions in the 19th century. Keywords: cultural memory; foundation myth; mythical genealogy; Palemon; the Grand Duchy of Lithuania; Polish- Lithuanian historiography; Greco-Roman antiquity in early modern period.

    Culture of Memory and Politics of History in Lithuania in 1989–2018

    119 Professor Alvydas Nikžentaitis The Lithuanian Institute of History, Vilnius, Lithuania ARTICLES CULTURE OF MEMORY AND POLITICS OF HISTORY IN LITHUANIA IN 1989–2018 Abstract This article aims to analyse the transformation of the culture of memory in Lithuania and the most important directions of Lithuanian politics of history in the period from 1989 to 2018. While discussing these questions, special attention is paid to the role of political factors (internal and external) and inter- state relations, as well as to changes in the relationship between Lithuania’s culture of memory, and the cultures of memory and identity of the national minorities in Lithuania. The paper emphasises the processes of transformation of the Lithuanian culture of remembrance which started around 2005, when it was most recently updated. The research material presented herein shows that Lithuania’s culture of memory is full of contradictions and conflicts, and that its central figure has changed. Keywords: culture of memory, politics of history, identity, inter-state relations, national minorities Financial disclosure: The article has been written as part of the research project “Modernisation of Identity? Challenges of ‘Europeanisation’, Nationalism and Post-Sovietism for Memory Cultures” (No. MOD-17006, supported by the Research Council of Lithuania). Institute of National Remembrance 1/2019 120 n recent years, a number of works have been published on Ithe culture of memory and politics of history (Erll, Nünning 2008). I have discussed the terminology of these concepts in other publications (Nikžentaitis 2013, pp. 517–538), throughout which one can clearly see a certain trend: these concepts are often used interchangeably (synonymously) (Łuczewski and Bednarz-Łuczewska 2011), although in my opinion they should not be.

    Antanas Smetona Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction Antanas Smetona (1874-1944) was born in Užulėnis, Kovno Governorate, Russian Empire. In 1886, he became the only child in his family to go to school, and in 1893, he began attending Jelgava Gymnasium in Latvia. A teacher there promoted Lithuanian language and culture, but the school made everyone use Russian, and Smetona was expelled for non-compliance. After graduating from a different school, Smetona moved to Vilnius where he became active in Lithuanian cultural life, joined the Lithuanian Democratic Party, and worked on various Lithuanian newspapers and periodicals. During World War I, Smetona assisted Lithuanian victims and was elected Chairman of the Council of Lithuania. He was elected the first president of Lithuania in 1919, but was replaced the next year. In 1926, he became president again after helping overthrow the previous president. Following the Soviet Union occupation of Lithuania during World War II, Smetona turned over power to his prime minister and fled the country. He and his family eventually settled in Cleveland, Ohio, where Smetona worked on a history of Lithuania and his memoirs until his 1944 death. Important Dates .
