The wedding, of course, had dynastic aims: Habsburgs and Romanovs wanted to strengthen their political alliance against France. The newlyweds arrived in Buda, the capital of Hungary, on February 1, 1800. From then on, they were celebrated for several months in a series of representative events. The Hungarian noble estates and the citizens of Pest and Buda expressed their respect on these occasions, but also communicated their political position: what they expected from the Palatine, what they hoped for in the war against the French, and what the duties of the young wife were. Poems were often recited, often sung, and sometimes handed over in printed form at various celebrations (balls, theatre performances, masquerade balls, etc.). This lecture explores the poetic tradition followed by these poems and the different poetic techniques used to communicate the political positions.","PeriodicalId":30305,"journal":{"name":"Central European Political Studies Review","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89391758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanisms of formation of the personality cult, which were used by party functionaries and newspaper journalists, are shown. The role of language and its use in creating the image of Klement Gottwald, the chairman of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, in the minds of citizens and in maintaining their sympathy to him was revealed. The evolution of the strategies utilised to influence public opinion was determined by the changes which took place in the state between 1945 and 1953. The set of practices developed in the media space which ensured the exaltation of Klement Gottwald and asserted his exceptional and sacral status are also shown.","PeriodicalId":30305,"journal":{"name":"Central European Political Studies Review","volume":"9 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80631461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Divided in separated communes, which had been established at different times and had different levels of solidarity and self-consciousness, they faced a variety of contradictions. They were between two halves of the monarchy, between the core and the periphery, between one of the politically dominant nationalities of the state and all the others, between the bigger and smaller ethnic groups of a region, and even between Austro-Hungary and Germany. One such commune with a developed regional identity and high level of social and political activity, the Transylvanian Saxons, took the unifying language policy of Budapest as a challenge. Their attempts to prevent the enactment of the Toponyms Law IV/1898 revealed the wide spread of negative attitudes towards the Hungarian government among the Saxons. They had such an attitude in common with many social forces of the dual monarchy. The attention of various periodicals to the protests confirms such a conclusion. Using Saxon periodicals, the article examines and compares the perception of the Saxon reaction to the new law with that of the Slovaks, the Czechs and Germans from the Bohemian Crown Lands, and the liberal circles of the state capitals. The Slovaks were also affected by the Toponyms Law, and Germans from the Bohemian Crown lands lived with contradictions very similar to those experienced by the Saxons. At the same time, metropolitan liberal circles were politically dominant. Such a comparison reveals a degree of understanding of the similarities and differences between the national questions in different regions of Austro-Hungary by contemporaries and in the ways the same news was discussed in various periodicals. It also enriches our knowledge about the complexion of social and political life in the Habsburg monarchy at the turn of the century.","PeriodicalId":30305,"journal":{"name":"Central European Political Studies Review","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91051146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper shows the results of the study of more than 10,000 private letters from the period between 1529 and 1650. The investigation resulted in dozens of previously unknown mentions of the presence of ice in the upper section of the Danube in the Carpathian Basin. Based upon this, it is possible to show some extremely cold or lasting winters and also to derive some general characteristics of the winters of the period. The paper shows that it is likely that the Danube froze over more frequently in the early modern period than it has done in the modern (instrumental) period which, amongst other reasons (human intervention in particular), could be attributable to change in the natural climatic conditions. Overall, the 120 years studied are considered a characteristically cold period of the Little Ice Age and it may be of primary importance to demonstrate similar climatic trends in the fluctuation of winter average temperatures in the Carpathian Basin and neighboring territories (Austria, Bohemia, Bavaria, and so forth). Apart from showing the potential of the study of the ice regime of rivers in reconstructing the past winter climates of the Carpathian Basin, the paper shows the need for the study of under-investigated types of evidence to gain historical environmental data.","PeriodicalId":30305,"journal":{"name":"Central European Political Studies Review","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80648108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Hungarian political culture, the most luxurious ceremony was the reception of the King/Queen in the Diet (highest legislative body of the kingdom), which often meant the first meeting of the King/Queen and the His/Her subjects, since the seat of the Habsburg rulers had been in Vienna. The ceremonial entrance consisted of four stations. Firstly, one of the Catholic bishops held a speech in Wolfsthal, an Austrian village close to the Hungarian border, then the Archbishop of Esztergom welcomed the ruler at Köpcsény, at the border of the kingdom. The town clerk of Pressburg held his speech at the Vienna gate of Pressburg, and then at the castle the Archbishop of Esztergom received the ruler in the name of the clergy. The King, the Court Chancellor of Hungary and—in name of the estates—the Archbishop of Esztergom held orations at the official opening of the Diet, which was signed by the deliverance of the royal propositions, in which the ruler, exercising His/Her royal rights, prescribed the issues negotiated at the Diet. Historians have at their disposal texts of speeches (more often fragments, or short notes), which are used for content analysis of the symbolism and topicality in the communication of the king and the estates is possible. Through the analysis of these celebratory speeches, the paper illustrates some aspects of the dialogue between the ruler and the estates, and presents their reflection upon the political situation and the political language, rhetorical techniques and compositional elements they used. The political language is considered with a focus on the rulers’ depiction of the speakers, and on the usage of the rhetorical figures.","PeriodicalId":30305,"journal":{"name":"Central European Political Studies Review","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75828960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the context in which the idea of the pamphlet was born and developed is considered. Special attention is paid to the comparison of fundamentally important terms — loyalism and “ugoda” (reconciliation), which are used in Polish and Russian scientific literature when talking about the attitude of Polish society to the power of the Austrian Emperor or the Tsar. The author believes that these terms cannot be considered identical. The author of the article describes the success of Polish historians in studying the history of Polish conservatism; in particular, the activities of the Cracow conservatives during the period of Galician autonomy. The article also describes the lag in Russian historiography in the study of Polish (Cracow) conservatism and such important sources as “Stańczyk’s Portfolio”. This landmark work not only conveys the atmosphere in which Polish society found itself after the defeat of the 1863 insurrection, reflecting on the fate of the Fatherland in the past and present, but also contains the ideological postulates of the Cracow conservatives, which makes it possible to perceive the pamphlet not only as a reflection, but also as a political program of the Cracow conservatives. Considering the pamphlet as a socio-cultural monument, the author emphasizes the prospects for its study using interdisciplinary methods of historical and anthropological research.","PeriodicalId":30305,"journal":{"name":"Central European Political Studies Review","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75784163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike the previous humanistic and baroque societies, which bore the name “academy” and were all dedicated to literary and linguistic topics, Sorgo’s society of amateur scholars was focused on practicality and social engagement. This meant a critical attitude towards the reality of Dubrovnik, and especially towards the ruling aristocratic oligarchy gathered in the Senate, which held a monopoly on political decision-making. Although Europe was undergoing profound social and political transformations at the time, the static nature of Dubrovnik’s conservative circles did not allow for any attempts at reform. Owing to this, the society of reformists was very short-lived, lasting only a year. This paper will present an overview of academic sociability in Dubrovnik up to the eighteenth century, as well as the establishment and goals of the Patriotic Society and its members. The topics of preserved speeches will be presented and the role of the aristocrat Tomo Bassegli (1756–1806), whose Enlightenment profile was formed during his stays in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.","PeriodicalId":30305,"journal":{"name":"Central European Political Studies Review","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82662868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The work is based on archival and published documents. The author pays special attention to the diplomatic, political and military collaboration of Czechoslovakia, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and Romania and to the forming of the Little Entente as a military and political alliance. The influence of the position of the Austrian government during Charles Habsburg’s first putsch on the domestic situation in that country and the international relation in Central Europe is analysed in the paper. The author of the article also demonstrates the character of the international negotiations in the issue dealing with Burgenland, Beneš’s attempts to be a moderator during the negotiations and the reaction of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, Romania and Italy to them. The changes of the international relations in Central Europe at this time are also investigated in details. Besides that, Czechoslovakia was making attempts not only to strengthen the cooperation of the members of the Little Entente but also to isolate Hungary and to weaken its relations with Austria and Poland. The politicians in Prague achieved this purpose by concluding the treaties with Poland on 6 November 1921 and Austria on 16 December 1921. The successes of the Little Entente in the resistance against the Habsburgs’ restoration in Hungary dealt with the enforcement of its international, political and military positions in Central Europe. The German diplomats considered the activity of the Czechoslovakia and its country members as an attempt to isolate Germany. Under those conditions Germany and Hungary were both interested in cooperation. The negotiations between Hungary and Germany during the autumn of 1921 and the co-ordination of these states’ attitude with a number of international problems are analysed in the article.","PeriodicalId":30305,"journal":{"name":"Central European Political Studies Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76659111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
