Slovakia by Tasha Wood Pdf

In this compilation, the authors evaluate the political situation in Slovakia, a young democracy with a population of over five million and with history of a quarter of a century of independence lying in the heart of Europe, by analyzing the results of the recent general (parliamentary) election held in 2016 and a series of referenda that have taken place in Slovakia over the past two decades. They present the basic rules for the application of parliamentary elections in this post-socialist European country, commenting on the pre-election situation and the chances of individual parties based on the results of pre-election opinion polls.Information concerning an important library located in Bratislava, the capital of the Slovak Republic, is presented in one chapter. The library was founded in 1919, and the first period of its development includes the time of the interwar Czechoslovak Republic from 1919 to 1938, when it was known as the Comenius University Library. The position and mission of the University Library at individual stages, the different ranges of its activities and tasks and the overall potential to fulfil its scientific, cultural and educational mission are also presented.Following this, the authors analyze the historical roots of political radicalism and extremism in Slovakia. The methodology of this chapter is based on historical analysis and statistical analysis of election results, secondary analysis of surveys and analysis of relevant documents and media output.Lastly, asylum seekers' access to health care in the Slovak Republic is described. Asylum seekers represent a specific group, since they are not included in the Slovak health insurance system. Therefore, they do not have the same rights regarding health care as citizens of the Slovak Republic.

Slovakia in History by Mikuláš Teich,Dušan Kováč,Martin D. Brown Pdf

Until the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, Slovakia's identity seemed inextricably linked with that of the former state. This book explores the key moments and themes in the history of Slovakia from the Duchy of Nitra's ninth-century origins to the establishment of independent Slovakia at midnight 1992–3. Leading scholars chart the gradual ethnic awakening of the Slovaks during the Reformation and Counter-Reformation and examine how Slovak national identity took shape with the codification of standard literary Slovak in 1843 and the subsequent development of the Slovak national movement. They show how, after a thousand years of Magyar-Slovak coexistence, Slovakia became part of the new Czechoslovak state from 1918–39, and shed new light on its role as a Nazi client state as well as on the postwar developments leading up to full statehood in the aftermath of the collapse of communism in 1989. There is no comparable book in English on the subject.

Vanished History by Tomas Sniegon Pdf

Bohemia and Moravia, today part of the Czech Republic, was the first territory with a majority of non-German speakers occupied by Hitler's Third Reich on the eve of the World War II. Tens of thousands of Jewish inhabitants in the so called Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia soon felt the tragic consequences of Nazi racial politics. Not all Czechs, however, remained passive bystanders during the genocide. After the destruction of Czechoslovakia in 1938-39, Slovakia became a formally independent but fully subordinate satellite of Germany. Despite the fact it was not occupied until 1944, Slovakia paid Germany to deport its own Jewish citizens to extermination camps. About 270,000 out of the 360,000 Czech and Slovak casualties of World War II were victims of the Holocaust. Despite these statistics, the Holocaust vanished almost entirely from post-war Czechoslovak, and later Czech and Slovak, historical cultures. The communist dictatorship carried the main responsibility for this disappearance, yet the situation has not changed much since the fall of the communist regime. The main questions of this study are how and why the Holocaust was excluded from the Czech and Slovak history.
