Intermarium
History and collective memories influence a nation, its culture, and institutions; hence, its domestic politics and foreign policy. That is the case in the Intermarium, the land between the Baltic and Black Seas in Eastern Europe. The area is the last unabashed rampart of Western Civilization in the East, and a point of convergence of disparate cultures. Marek Jan Chodakiewicz focuses on the Intermarium for several reasons. Most importantly because, as the inheritor of the freedom and rights stemming from the legacy of the Polish-Lithuanian/Ruthenian Commonwealth, it is culturally and ideologically compatible with American national interests. It is also a gateway to both East and West. Since...
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, 1733-1795
A major new assessment of the "vanished kingdom" of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth--one which recognizes its achievements before its destruction Richard Butterwick tells the compelling story of the last decades of one of Europe's largest and least understood polities: the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Drawing on the latest research, Butterwick vividly portrays the turbulence the Commonwealth experienced. Far from seeing it as a failed state, he shows the ways in which it overcame the stranglehold of Russia and briefly regained its sovereignty, the crowning success of which took place on 3 May 1791--the passing of the first Constitution of modern Europe.
Dzierżyński. Miłość i rewolucja
"Namiętny kochanek, zaślepiony fanatyk, wrażliwy morderca Nie męcz się. Zrób Feliksa szczęśliwym. Żegnaj, całuję ‒ napisała zrozpaczona kobieta w ostatnim liście do siostry. Dramatyczne samobójstwo zakończyło skandaliczny trójkąt erotyczny, który połączył Michalinę i Sabinę Feinsteinówny z towarzyszem Dzierżyńskim. Podobnie jak dziesiątkom innych kobiet, które związały się z „czerwonym katem” ‒ nie było im pisane szczęście. Wierzę tylko w naukę Chrystusa (...) Wierzę, że Bóg Chrystus ‒ to Miłość. Innego Boga oprócz Niego nie mam ‒ pisał Dzierżyński – krystalicznie uczciwy polski szlachcic, krewny Józefa Piłsudskiego, kochający o...

Social and Cultural Relations in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania
The Grand Duchy of Lithuania was one of the largest and most linguistically, ethnically and religiously diverse polities in late medieval and early modern Europe. In the mid-1380s the Grand Duchy of Lithuania entered into a long process of union with the Kingdom of Poland. Since the destruction of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795, the history and memory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania have been much contested among its successor nations. This volume aims to excavate a level below their largely incompatible narratives. Instead, in an encounter with freshly discovered or long neglected sources, the authors of this book seek new understanding of the Grand Duchy, its citizens and inhabitants in "microhistories." Emphasizing urban and rural spaces, families, communities, networks, and travels, this book presents fresh research by established and emerging scholars.
