Ukrainian issues have been interesting to intellectuals in the area of pre-war and war time Croatia. Different standpoints and influences are visible in its elaboration. Representatives of Russian ...emigration expressed mainly negative attitudes. By efforts to find a compromise, the editorial board of Nova Evropa invited for Slavic solidarity, but Ukraine under the Soviet regime experienced devastating interventions exactly from the Slavic (Russian Bolshevik) side. August Cesarec, in his travel pieces from the Soviet Union, brings elements of socialist realism in the presentation of reality. In Croatian intellectual circles, a youth group was formed that worked on the familiarisation with Ukrainian issues –through representation of history, literature, social research, translations. Due to them, Ukrainian language was introduced in classes at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. This presentation of Ukraine was void of extremist characteristics of dominant ideologies. Ukrainian classics were translated, and also for the first time, representatives of Ukrainian modernism. Interest of Croatian intellectuals in the life and work of Taras Ševčenko reaches its culmination in the work of Stanko Gašparović, the leading representative of Croatian Ukrainian studies of the war time period. In this war time period, Croatian Ukrainian studies were on the rise, which was cut off by the new regime in 1945.
Cilj je ovoga članka analizirati aktualnost ukrajinske teme u intelektualnim krugovima Hrvatske i predočiti različite vizije Ukrajine – rusku, emigrantsku; socrealističku i ukrajinsko-hrvatsku, ...nacionalnu. Potonja je najzaslužnija za razvoj ukrajinistike, koja je upravo u ratnim godinama doživjela uspon kroz prevodilačku, istraživačku i nastavnu djelatnost, što je u sljedećim razdobljima ostalo nezamijećeno.

Několik povídek se snažilo také v aktivistickém duchu interpretovat nedávné události: sociální rozpory první republiky, její rozpad a vznik protektorátu. Nejasná byla otázka tzv. nového českého vlastenectví. Zatímco aktivističtí žurnalisté a propagandisté si pod ním představovali identifikaci s jednotnou nacistickou Evropou, autoři analyzovaných povídek zdůrazňovali motiv pragmatické záchrany národa a touhu dočkat se lepší budoucnosti. Podobnou soutěž se v následujících letech již nepodařilo zopakovat, a tak Prameny víry zůstávají ojedinělým pokusem stvořit českou aktivistickou literaturu.- Studie se zabývá sborníkem Prameny víry z roku 1943, jenž obsahuje patnáct povídek, vítězů literární soutěže nazvané Nový zítřek. Cílem bylo publikovat texty, které měly zobrazovat život v protektorátu v duchu nacistické propagandy. Inicioval ji aktivistický novinář Rudolf Novák, dosazený do nakladatelství Leopold Mazáč nacistickými úřady, v létě roku 1942. Soutěž obeslali převážně mladší autoři, kteří dosud nepublikovali, anebo vydávali nekomplikované prózy z oblasti populární literatury. Jediným známějším přispěvatelem byl Vojtěch Rozner. Přestože povídky měly umělecké ambice, žádná z nich nedosáhla vyšších uměleckých kvalit. Studie se věnuje zejména popisu a interpretaci motivů a témat nacistické propagandy, které se v těchto textech více či méně skrytě objevují. Téměř všudypřítomné je téma tzv. nové Evropy a jejího budování. V povídkách se často objevuje motiv dítěte jakožto budovatele nového světa, ve dvou textech je přítomné také antisemitské téma, charakterizující rasově čistou nacistickou Evropu.- This study deals with the Sources of Faith anthology dating from 1943, which contains fifteen short stories that came out top in a competition titled New Tomorrow. The aim was to publish texts that were meant to depict life in the Protectorate in the spirit of Nazi propaganda. It was initiated by activist journalist Rudolf Novák, who had been assigned to the Leopold Mazáč publishers by the Nazi authorities in the summer of 1942. The competition was entered primarily by younger authors who had not previously published, or who had only published unsophisticated prose works of popular fiction. The only fairly well-known contributor was Vojtěch Rozner. Although these stories had literary ambitions, none of them achieved a very high literary standard. This study focuses in particular on describing and interpreting the motifs and subjects of Nazi propaganda which occur more or less implicitly in these texts.- Almost omnipresent is the subject of the „New Europe“ and its construction. These stories often present the motif of children as the builders of the new world. Two texts also include an anti-Semitic element characterizing a racially pure Nazi Europe. This construction also involves the subject of workers’ labour and social justice: workers are better off in the New Europe, they work happily in a comradely collective and their work is valued appropriately. Several stories also attempt to interpret recent events in an activist spirit: the social contradictions of the First Republic, its collapse and the creation of the Protectorate. The issue of what was known as the new Czech patriotism remained vague. While activist journalists and propagandists conceived it to be identification with a united Nazi Europe, the authors of the stories under analysis stressed the motif of pragmatic defence of the nation and the longing to live to see a better future. No competition of this kind was ever repeated in subsequent years, so Sources of Faith remains a unique attempt to create a Czech activist literature.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
