Now that I’m back from this year's ASEEES, where I got my hard copy from Marko R. Stech, I’m sure that it’s for real. Excited to see my thoughts published along the contributions from so many leaders of our field.

sweet!

In constitutional Cisleithania it was recognised as being simultaneously Lemberg, Lwów, and Lviv, whereas in 1939-1941 and 1944-1991 it was both Lviv and Lvov.
We may also add to your count the Russian military occupation of 1914-1915 and the West Ukrainian People's Republic of November 1918.

Life can be complicated in more than one way. In this blog post I'm trying to explain to the Anglophone public the specific complications resulting from the Polish-Lithuanian rule in Right-bank Ukraine and how we're still grappling with it in both countries.

Was Ukraine a colony of Poland-Lithuania? Well, not really, but also kinda yesish: trafo.hypotheses.org/53314

Off social media till the end of July.

At least for COST purposes, Greece & Portugal are EE.

This might be the most nerdy thing I wrote in a long time. Only for hardcore fans of Catholic church history!
In any case, it feels great to be part of a research group that encourages such extravangzas.

Introduction - negotiating SOVEREIGNTY Lectori salutem! Welcome to our research group’s blog, which we have recently launched and which we will use to share […]

A message from our leader 🙂: sovereignty.abtk.hu/2023/11/17/i...

On this day in 1917, the Ukrainian People's Republic was born.

The document that proclaimed it - ensuring the rights of minorities as well as freedom of speech, press, faith, assembly - appeared as a broadsheet in the Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Yiddish languages. www.meits.org/blog/post/a-...

Also, for those of you curious what it was like to be a Polish-speaking Jewish child/teen in Warsaw in the 1930s: culture.pl/en/video/joz...

Well, you can also watch the movie: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Box...

Józef Hen turns 100 today. A real Zeugenberg, he is the last Polish Jewish writer of his generation still with us. He’s also my grandpa and my children’s great grandpa. Thank you, gods, for this most precious gift!
