About the Journal
In the journal “Totalitarian and 20th Century Studies”, we present the results of new historical, political scientific, legal, and sociological research relative to the phenomenon of the 20th century’s totalitarian regimes, as well as to issues connected to the political, social, and economic history of Central and Eastern Europe. Analyzing totalitarian systems in terms of their practices and the ideologies behind them, and at the same time focusing on the history of the countries on which they left their mark, allows for a broader understanding of the 20th -century history of our region. The journal’s interdisciplinary approach provides a unique platform for the exchange of ideas between historians, lawyers, political scientists and sociologists specializing in the most dramatic events and processes of the 20th century. The journal is published annually.
Current Issue
A bilingual interdisciplinary yearbook serving as an international forum for the exchange of thought, the presentation of results of monographic research and synthetic writings, and for a methodological reflection. The yearbook is devoted to studies into the 20th century, with a particular focus on various aspects of totalitarianism.
The issues that come to the fore in the recent volume are the economic history of Poland during the period of German Nazi totalitarian rule, Soviet totalitarianism, and the subsequent decades of the Moscow-backed
Communist dictatorship; the post-war settlement of crimes and the quest for justice; and the system of Hitlerite repression. The above issues often intermingle to create a mosaic of the processes that shaped the political history of East-Central Europe in the 20th century. It was, therefore, the aim of the editorial board to present these problems in a broad transnational perspective which clearly demonstrates that local histories and the fates of
individuals were always dependent on external political circumstances.
