The beauty of Rome is that it’s a modern city on top of a fascist city built on top of a romantic nationalist Italian city built on top of a Papal city built on top of a Roman city and no matter where you are, none of these layers is ever far away

Just discovered this fascinating report from 1949 warning of the dangers of Pan-Slavist subversion in the US (publishing by House Committee on Un-American Activities). “51 percent of the workers in the coal and steel industries are of Slavic extraction…”

Quite a fascinating passage from here interpreting Britain’s WWII mythos (Dunkirk, the Blitz) an expression of traditional Protestant providentialism. Implies it was not so much WWII itself that united postwar Britain but a particularly Protestant interpretation of its significance!

Learning from this that not only did the Welsh historically refer to the English simply as ‘Saxons’, but Scottish Highlanders also saw the English and Scots speaking Lowlaners and the English collectively as ‘Saxons’ too

Especially humbled by this review because Beneš - besides being an authority on Central European history in general - wrote one of the books I enjoyed most while researching my own, exploring the complex interplay of nationalism and socialism in pre-WWI Austria. Highly recommend!

If you’ve read Borderlines, you will know that I’m fond of Central Europe - the idea and the places it encompasses. Luka’s book will be a deeper exploration and I’m looking forward to reading it.

The curious death of pagan Europe
In Lithuania – Europe’s last pagan kingdom – the death of the old religions was neither swift nor absolute. They lingered on, revealing a slower, stranger story of Christian conversion.

“Though Lithuanians and far-off pagans may seem marginal to European history, it is precisely the uniqueness of their stories and the historical situations they found themselves in that make for such fascinating reading.” Thank you
