Therefore it contains mostly Czech material but it is open to all other Soviet and East-European artworks up to 1989. Submissions are welcome.
Motto: "It seems that our [Czech] close experience with Utopia is, paradoxicaly, our biggest contribution to the general experience thesaurus of the history of Europe." - Vladimír Macura, literary historian, in an introduction to his book Šťastný věk (The Age of Happiness, Prague, 2008)
