Changes in economic structures, supply chains, customs borders, taxation and monetary systems created an entirely new situation in the region.The literature section of the second issue of the quarterly contains articles on the most interesting phenomena and various difficulties encountered in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. These were illustrated by literary figures such as Jozef Albin Herbaczewski, Witkacy, Karel Čapek and Hryhorii Maifet, among others.
