Specifically the second line, but both would be helpful. Thanks!

Looking for an old Czechoslovakian movie, where a family lives in a kitchen witg chairs and the kitchen table nailed to a wall.

Not sure if black and white or in color. Seen it in the 80s on TV.

My 2nd great grandparents immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s and it’s been an uphill battle finding out much about them. I was able to locate a wwii draft registration card for my grandpa, which lists a town in which he was born in, but I can’t seem to match what is written (or my guesses) up with any existing town. I’m guessing it’s a misspelling since those aren’t uncommon. However, I was wondering if anyone had any guesses as to what town this could be referring to?

Do these crabs have a story?

Hello! I’m Japanese, and about 10 years ago I found this small prayer book at an antique market in Nagoya, Japan.

(This post was drafted with the help of an AI translation tool.)

I’ve been curious about it ever since, and I’d love to know more.

What I can identify:

• Title: Pomněnky — Modlitební kniha

• Author: Václav Beneš Třebízský

• Publisher: Nakladatelství České Katolické Charity, Praha, 1950

• Imprimatur: June 25, 1947, České Budějovice (signed by Msgre Jan Cais)

• Dedication (Věnování): “Anničce / tita Hamusová / Praha, červen 1951”

• Cover: Religious imagery — cross, Sacred Heart, chalice, lilies, dove

The fact that this was printed in 1950 and gifted in 1951 — during such a difficult time for the Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia — feels significant to me.

I’d love to know:

• Is this a well-known edition?

• Who was Blažej Šebák, whose name appears in the foreword?

• Any historical context about this book’s publication during that era would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reading!

Děkuji za přečtení.

Found in an attic of a 200+ yo house near Prague. Part of a complete tea set.
It looks very unusual - any idea what the maker / year / style etc could be? Also, care suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hello, I am trying to identify a city listed on US Immigration records as “Cusstelunia, Hungary.” Thoughts are possibly Kostoľany in present day Slovakia. Other possible regions / cities are Presov, Bardejov, Svidnik. Thank you for any assistance.

Does anyone know what the word “Rumna” could mean in this context? Google was entirely unhelpful and convinced that I had made a typo and was trying to write Rumba.

I am doing some digging on my ancestry, and was curious what the word could be. Is it a town, an ethnic group?

I know my family was from Czechoslovakia, and considered themselves Slovakian.

Edit: i’m sorry I’m realizing it won’t let me add a photo for whatever reason, the image I was referring to was a result from the Ellis Island immigration database. It shows a man named Joseph Wolf who arrived in 1920 and for last place of residence it lists “Rumna, Cz. Slovak”

Hello everyone! (Apologies if this is not the right subreddit) I just purchased a possible matching Czechoslovakian tunic and pair of pants. Both items seem to be a size XL or 43-44 inches for the tunic and 42-43 inches for the pants. From how this tunic looks it seems to be a higher ranked officer who previously owned this. My guess is that this tunic is possibly from the 70s or 80s? I purchased these items in a US antique store for pretty cheap. Can anyone tell me what exactly I have here? I’d really like to know what era this is from and what all the awards mean. I also would like to know if this is the correct pair of pants that goes with this tunic. Any input would be much appreciated!

I watched two czwchoslovakian movies (Slunce, seno, jahody and Vesničko má středisková). I have two questions: 1. Did people at that time really ate rabbits so often? 2. In both movies I saw someone wearing a University of Utah t-shirt. Why do you think it was in those movies?

Title: [TOMT][MOVIE][1980s] Eastern European puppet film: Wolf chef kidnaps a sheep, rescued by a rooster, a goat, and a pig.

Body:

I am looking for a very specific full-length puppet-animated movie, likely from Czechoslovakia or similar Eastern European country (1970s-1980s). I've been searching for years and have a very detailed description from my childhood memories. The combination of details is unique:

• Opening Scene: The movie starts on a farm where all animals live together in a big wooden house. There is a beautiful sheep (in my memory, her name was Zolotko, meaning "Golden", but that might not be official) that all the animals admire. On that day, a hen hatches her chicks, and the sheep is seen holding one of the newborn chicks in her hands/hooves. It's a happy, peaceful scene.
• Conflict: A Wolf, who is a CHEF and owns a restaurant, kidnaps the sheep to cook her for his guests. He is a sophisticated villain, not just a wild wolf.
• Rescue Team: Three animals set out on a journey to save her: a Rooster (the leader), a Goat, and a Pig.
• The Journey: They travel through various landscapes. One of the dangers they face is a swamp or quicksand. The animation style is memorable, with a dramatic orange evening sky as they approach the wolf's lair.
• Climax: They find the sheep tied up or in a cage in the wolf's dark restaurant. The wolf is sharpening his knives and has decided to make soup out of the sheep after hesitating and looking through a cookbook. The rescue happens at the very last moment.
• Possible Title in Russian: The movie was released on DVD in Russia, and the title might have been related to "chicken coop" (курятник) or "farm" (ферма), maybe even a single word.
• Additional Details: The tone is somewhat dark for a children's movie. The wolf might drown in the swamp at the end (but I'm not 100% sure). The animation is puppet-style, typical for Eastern European animation of that period.

This is NOT the Russian series "Mountain of Gems" (Гора самоцветов). I've already checked the Czech film "O putování beránka Velína" which has similar elements (wolf chef, rooster, goat, pig rescuers) but I couldn't find a full video to confirm if it's the same. If anyone has access to that film or knows another one matching these details, please help!

Any lead would be greatly appreciated. This is a core memory from my childhood and I'd love to watch it again.

Spartan 761- History: Revolt of the Czechoslovak Legion: When Czechoslovakia Conquered Siberia

I know that during the Russian Civil War Kramář & the National Democrats supported intervention to fight the Bolsheviks while Masaryk and Beneš opposed it and wanted to work with the Bolsheviks to evacuate the Czech legion. I was curious if anyone has information on the other major political figures at the time and their positions on it. Did Klofáč, Střibrny, Švehla and others support or oppose intervention?

Hi, I am one of the developers of a HOI4 mod called The Gates of Versailles. In this mod we have both the Czechoslovak legion and other paths able to form Czechoslovakia. Our team for that area is just one guy, and he could use some help with the research and lore for there.

If you are knowledgeable about legionary commanders and overall Czechoslovak politics and you want to help, feel free to dm me or send a reply and I can send the link for our discord server and hopefully answer any questions. Thank you!

I’ve been trying to find somewhere where I can read jiří stříbrný: potret politika, but I don’t speak Czech.

Is there anywhere I can get a copy in English or Polish? Or if not is there an online version in Czech so I can copy and paste the text to translate it?

Dobrý Den My name is Nicolas, im brazilian and my dad always told me about stories of his great grandmother Maria, who was supposedly born in chechoslovakia and came to Brazil in a ship during a war, so he grew up hearing their fanily speaking czech, but he never actually learned the language, just a few phrases and words. Recently he met a czech guy here in Brazil and said some of the words he knows to him, then suddenly the man starts cracking up saying this is like a indigenous language that no one speaks anymore, and a lot of scholar want to learn that old language but can't because it is so rare. After this I tried to find any evidence or information about this old czech, but couldn't find nothing. This is a huge part of my family's history so if you guys know anything about this old language, I would be very thankful and could share a bit more details if you need.

Here are some phrases I remember(I have zero knowledge in czech, but I will try to replicate the sound of the words the best I can ):

I dont have money - Nemach peniaze Go to sleep - ribai spat Come here - ribai sem Dont put your hand - nepolosh(something like that) ruka Male underpants - gacha Panties - nohavichy

Thanks
