English Translation

To find the western and eastern neighbours. This was followed by the pursuit of independence and independence and led to a number of self-assertion struggles against the neighbouring peoples. Culturally, a detachment from the East and a rapprochement to Western views had arisen. The geopolitical conditions forced in various periods of time to seek the help of the empire against eastern and south-eastern neighbours, and resulted in a rational insinuation and insertion into the empire. From this point on, the population of Bohemia and Moravia lived for centuries (also in an attitude) in the conflict between East and West, the political condition of belonging to the empire and the pursuit of independence. Again and again in the history of Bohemia and Moravia and its inhabitants, phenomena played a role, which we saw appear fatefully in the last decades, yes, in the past weeks and months. Unfortunately, it was a bad habit for these people to bow their heads after warring or political defeats and to promise loyalty, but to take the old path without words when the leadership of the empire to which they had joined withdrew militarily in trust of this word. In history, sometimes it is the kings and rulers themselves who commit treason, sometimes they are vassals of the rulers here who call for insurrection and treason also against their own ruler, who held allegiance to the leadership of the kingdom. In this sense, the fate of St. Wenceslas and his subsequent brother Boleslav is the tragic example 48
