The Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans (Ukraine) has been recently added to UNESCO's World Heritage List. The residence represents a masterful synergy of architectural styles built by the renowned Czech architect and philanthrophist Josef Hlávka from 1864 to 1882. The property, an outstanding example of 19th century historicist architecture, also includes a seminary and monastery and is dominated by the domed, cruciform Seminary Church with a garden and park. The complex expresses architectural and cultural influences from the Byzantine period onward and embodies the powerful presence of the Orthodox Church during the reign of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, reflecting its policy of religious tolerance. The former residence is located in the city of Chernivtsi in southwestern Ukraine and is now in use as an University. and Karel Ksandr.

Před 50 lety, ve dnech 27.-28. května 1963, se v liblickém zámku konala konference o díle Franze Kafky. Šlo o význačnou událost, jež měla dosah nejen vědecký, nýbrž také kulturně-politický. Náběhy k pozitivnějšímu vnímání Kafkova díla zaznamenáváme již v druhé polovině 50. let, kdy vychází studie Ivana Dubského a Mojmíra Hrbka O Franzi Kafkovi (Nový život 1957, č. 4, s. 415-435). Rok nato se objevuje román Proces v překladu Pavla Eisnera a studie Pavla Reimana Společenská problematika v Kafkových románech (Nová mysl, č. 1, 1958, s. 52-63). and Roman Kanda.
The November 17 was first declared as International Students' Day in 1941 in London by the International Students' Council. Struggle for Freedom and Demo- cracy Day (formely Students' Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day - established in 1990) has been observed as an official holiday in the Czech Republic since 2000. This date is also associated with the origin of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (1952-1992), which comprised research institutes, a learned society and a body of academicians and corresponding members. Despite being subjected to heavy ideological pressure until the fall of the communist regime in 1989, Czech science was nevertheless able to maintain its creative energy in a number of instances and to find its way to the world scientific community (although there were disparities within the various fields of sciences during different periods of the regime). and Marina Hužvárová.
