| Description | The life of Mikuláš Gacek (1895-1971) illustrates many paradoxes of 20th century Slovak history. He took part in the Czechoslovak Legion, worked as a successful translator from Russian language, worked in the Slovak embassy in Moscow and in was a prisoner in Gulag between 1945-1955. Afterwards, he returned to Czechoslovakia and attempted to gain rehabilitation in the liberalizing 1960s. His correspondence from this period allows us to glimpse some of the personal connections of Slovak intelligentsia of this time, often ignoring ideological differences, and also shows at a glance paradoxical ways of thinking about the immediate past and about life in ideologically different regimes. |
