The project leader is Dr. Zdenko Maršálek, and Dr. Milan Sovilj, dr. Jiří Neminář and dr. Vladimír Pilát, CSc. are co-investigators. The small team includes the older, middle as well as the young generation of historians. The selection of the team is based on the previous research results of individual members, which appropriately overlaps or complements. The individual members previously approached the subject with different intensity, but above all, with different methodology. The team plans to cooperate with other Czech and, above all, foreign experts, and to integrate different approaches, especially in terms of macro- and regional history. The search for an international context should become one of the hallmarks of the project.
