  • LETTER to G20, IMF, WORLD BANK, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS and NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS
    LETTER TO G20, IMF, WORLD BANK, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS and NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS We write to call for urgent action to address the global education emergency triggered by Covid-19. With over 1 billion children still out of school because of the lockdown, there is now a real and present danger that the public health crisis will create a COVID generation who lose out on schooling and whose opportunities are permanently damaged. While the more fortunate have had access to alternatives, the world’s poorest children have been locked out of learning, denied internet access, and with the loss of free school meals - once a lifeline for 300 million boys and girls – hunger has grown. An immediate concern, as we bring the lockdown to an end, is the fate of an estimated 30 million children who according to UNESCO may never return to school. For these, the world’s least advantaged children, education is often the only escape from poverty - a route that is in danger of closing. Many of these children are adolescent girls for whom being in school is the best defence against forced marriage and the best hope for a life of expanded opportunity. Many more are young children who risk being forced into exploitative and dangerous labour. And because education is linked to progress in virtually every area of human development – from child survival to maternal health, gender equality, job creation and inclusive economic growth – the education emergency will undermine the prospects for achieving all our 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and potentially set back progress on gender equity by years.

  • Background to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact Legends and Facts
    Miklós Mitrovits Central European Horizons, Vol I Issue 1 (2020) I Issue Vol Horizons, Central European Miklós Mitrovits Background to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact Legends and Facts The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed on 23 August 1939. Today, eighty years on, it still stirs up controversy in public life and among academics. One side still voices the Stalinist argument, according to which the Soviet Union had no alternative: prioritizing its own security interests, it had to sign the agreement. According to the advocates of this view, the Soviet Union was forced into the situation as it was on the defensive and wanted nothing but peace. However, the archival sources that have become accessible in Ger- many, Poland and Russia contradict the view that paints Stalin as a passive victim. In these documents, expansionist imperial policies surface, moreover, one may find abundant cases for military, economic and political cooperation between the two totalitarian dictatorship. This study presents the Stalinist arguments, their sources, then, turns to the documentary evidence contradi- cting these. The old debate about the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, which was signed in Moscow on 23 August 1939, has resurfaced. The alliance between Nazi Germany and Com- munist Soviet Union has been a matter for controversy since the time of signing. Even contemporaries had difficulties comprehending how two countries with such diametrically opposing ideologies could come to an agreement. Surely, these cont- emporaries did not know about the secret clause attached to the pact of non-aggres- sion, which divided Central Europe between the two powers. It was in the context of this agreement that the Wehrmacht attacked Poland on 1 September 1939, and the World War II began.

  • The Fiftieth Anniversary of the October Revolution (1967) – a Generational Turnover and the Politics of Memory of the USSR*
    Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Ś rodkowo-Wschodniej ■ LII-SI(2) Bartłomiej Gajos Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding The Fiftieth Anniversary of the October Revolution (1967) – a Generational Turnover and the Politics of Memory of the USSR* Zarys treści: Obchody 50. rocznicy rewolucji październikowej zademonstrowały istotne zmiany polityki historycznej KPZS. Wydarzenia, które rozegrały się w Piotrogrodzie, i wokół których koncentrowała się pamięć społeczna przez ostatnie półwiecze, nie posiadały w latach sześćdzie- siątych tak silnego wymiaru symbolicznego, zdolnego mobilizować społeczeństwo do realizacji celów stawianych przez partię komunistyczną, takich jak Wielka Wojna Ojczyźniana. Rewolucja październikowa w chwili reaktywacji ofi cjalnego święta Dnia Zwycięstwa w 1965 r. zaczęła tracić swój centralny status w pamięci społecznej w Związku Sowieckim. Outline of content: Th e celebrations of the fi ft ieth anniversary of the October Revolution revealed signifi cant changes in politics of memory of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Th e events which took place in Petrograd and on which social memory had focused for last fi ft y years, did not have in the 1960s such a strong symbolic impact, being able to mobilise the people to achieve goals set by the Communist Party as the Great Patriotic War. From the time of reactivation of the offi cial celebrations of the Victory Day in 1965 the October Revolution began gradually to diminish in importance and lose its central place in collective memory of the Soviet people. Słowa kluczowe: rewolucja październikowa 1917, Leonid Breżniew, radziecka polityka historyczna, KPZS, Wielka Wojna Ojczyźniana Keywords: October Revolution 1917, Leonid Brezhnev, Soviet politics of history, Communist Part of the Soviet Union, Great Patriotic War * Th is article was fi nanced from the budgetary funds assigned for research in 2015–2019 within the framework of the Diamond Grant Programme (project ID: DI2014008844).
