Particular areas of concern raised in the letter include worries about perceived NATO weakness in the face of a resurgent Russia, US inaction over the Russian invasion of Georgia in August 2008, and uncertainty over pervious US plans to develop missile defence bases in Poland and the Czech Republic which could ‘undermine US credibility across the region’ – see my earlier post here: http://thevieweast.wordpress.com/2009/01/28/no-russian-missiles-in-kaliningrad/ [...] [...] The authors of the letter urged President Obama to remember their interests in his negotiations with Russia, expressing fears that they may be ’sold out’ in his attempts to develop a more positive working relationship with Medvedev, warning that’ Russia is back as a revisionist power pursuing a nineteenth century agenda with twenty first century tactics and methods’ including ‘overt and covert means of economic warfare’ and admitting to ‘nervousness in our capitals’ over Russian attempts to advance their interests in the East European region.

Your articles and serious research on the Chodove people are of great significance to us. Your publications, written in English, make it much easier for us to understand our culture and to spread the word to younger generations in North America and other parts of the world.

They were our ancestors and yet unknown by us. The strongest comment about their history came to me from an elderly relative when he said, "They were an important group in Bohemia". Reading about them in English gives me much satisfaction. It is important and of interest to others with Czech ties here in the Americas; from Argentina to northern Canada.

Lots of interesting looking stuff here, which I will work my way through. It's nice to find easily-digestible information about recent Central European history in English – something that those of us who live here are sometimes sorely lacking. On the question of the Solidarity celebrations taking place in Krakow (my home), though it's obvious that Gdansk would have been the more appropriate venue the role of the Nowa Huta steelworks (the largest planned industrial community in Europe at the time) shouldn't be overlooked. Krakow is not just a pretty face. Hey, just found this blog thanks to you kindly linking to Polandian on your blogroll. Lots of interesting looking stuff here, which I will work my way through.
