| Summary/Abstract |
The aim of this article is to explain the presence of Georgian foreign fighters on both sides of the conflict in Ukraine and, using open sources, to map in the greatest possible detail their involvement in this conflict. Since this involvement has taken various forms and continues to do so, the author decided to split the main part of the article into three sections, in which he successively analyses the Georgian National Legion fighting on Ukraine’s side, the engagement of other Georgians on the Ukrainian side but outside the Legion, and the activities of Georgian foreign fighters who have sided with the pro-Russian separatists.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines alleged Czechoslovak assistance to the Italian extreme-left terrorist organisation, the Red Brigades, and how the case has been investigated in Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. The authors present the sources of information on the issue and analyse the course of the investigation undertaken by the Office for the Documentation and Investigation of the Crimes of Communism. In the absence of a complete archival record, given that important documents were shredded, the full truth about the fact and nature of any Czechoslovak assistance may never be known. Yet there are some grounds for speculation that assistance was granted by elements within the Czechoslovak secret services, and that these elements failed to inform the Communist Party leadership about their actions. However, it is not possible to confirm this on the basis of available documents.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores the differences in risk assessment of the V4 states of two politically different but sensitive security threats (Russian influence and terrorism). The comparison was performed using the two latest versions of national security strategies. Using discourse analysis and placing each national approach in the context of both national and international politics, this research shows finds that significant differences exist in the understanding of security risks, despite the same geopolitical localization and comparable situation of the individual V4 states. Regarding the threat of restoring Russian influence in the region, but also in the matter of the fight against terrorism, each country accentuates different conclusions. An appeal to coordinate risk assessment would be appropriate not only for the government, but also on the expert and academic levels.
