Issue 7 is based on the proceedings of the conference “Freedom for all time: Enduring values in a world of restrictions and prohibitions in Central Europe and neighbouring regions from the eighteenth to the twentieth Centuries” (2023). In traditional and new thematic sections, the political, economic, cultural and linguistic implication of freedom is examined from Germany to the Kingdom of Poland and from socialist Czechoslovakia to contemporary Greece. The subjects include the demands for broader freedom for teachers in Austria-Hungary and the radical forms of the Slovenian national struggle for freedom in the early twentieth century, the state order and the artistic credo of Alfons Muha, the ethics and pragmatics of freedom in the work of Olga Tokarczuk, the memory battles of Austrian and Hungarian historians in the newly formed Burgenland and the rejection of freedom of speech in Austria on the eve of the Anschluss. Interwar European history is represented by analyses of the failed attempts to restore the Habsburgs’ power in Hungary, the work of Soviet diplomacy in Czechoslovakia and Germany, and the polemics surrounding the national question in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The issue is rounded off by reviews of books on the socio-political history of the region in the twentieth century.
