Vol. 1 No. 5 (2024): The History and Literature of Central and Eastern European Countries

The twentieth century was extremely turbulent for Central Europe. Two world wars remodelled the political shape of the region, several regime changes and social transformations emerged new structures. The great diversity of these processes, methods of social resistance or implementation of political solutions does not invalidate the fact that this variability was experienced everywhere. The very end of the turbulent century and the beginning of the new one seemed to be a time of strategic pause and, at the same time, of social tranquillity under a solidifying elite. But today we can already see that the twenty‑first century will not be a century of calm. That the scale of change we will face may well match that which characterised the last century. In the current issue of Trimarium, we are therefore looking at selected transformations and social uprisings of a different nature, in order to view our present situation in the mirror of those phenomena.
