    « Monuments in gratitude » to the Red Army in Poland are among the most numerous and well-known commemorative structures from the communist period. This does not mean, however, that the history of their construction and existence has already been extensively studied and described. In post-communist Poland, the « monument heritage » is regarded as an important part of recent history of Poland or of Central-Eastern Europe, even though the topic still gives rise to much controversy. Dominika Czarnecka's book is the first attempt at a synthetic presentation of the history of monuments to the Red Army erected outside of permanent cemeteries in post-war Poland. The work was awarded a distinction at the Wladyslaw Pobóg-Malinowski Contest for the Historical Debut of the year (2014). The Polish-language edition was also among the nominees of the Polityka News Magazine History Award (Polish History Book of the Year) in the debut category (2016).

    Why do some children have dreams about one-time relatives they never met? How come that in our dreams we happen to stroll through places we have never visited before? In the book, the reader will discover a new frame of interpretation for questions like these. After analyzing hundreds of interviews, which have been at the heart of my research on families for decades, and a thorough review of international family research over the last fifty years, which has changed our understanding of the family as a basic unit of parents and children, a new theory has taken shape in my mind. I called it the extended symbolic family. From the multiple experiences of different social realities, from told or untold stories that swirl in the memory of extended families, patterns emerge that seem to impact all key decisions made by family members. The innumerable family patterns then help or hinder adaptation to changes in social space and time, and, conversely, change them as well. Based on the concepts of hybridity, time, and space, the theory combines several approaches, ranging from transgenerational to transnational families, into a single conceptual framework that may help social scientists and interested readers understand how the extended symbolic family creates continuity, stability, and flexibility in an ever-changing world. In addition to plenty of extracts from interviews, the book ends with a complete story narrated by four members of the same family: a grandfather, two of his daughters, and his grandson.

    The booming of the Internet of Things (IoT) benefits individuals, businesses, and society. The IoT can allow consumers to utilize their mobile or smart devices to manage the security of their homes, health, finance, and life. More-over, the IoT may assist companies or factories globally optimize operations and enhance customer satisfaction by tracking their goods during shipping, location, control, and security. Although the Internet of Things (IoT) and cy-berspace provide several advantages, they are fraught with vulnerabilities, dangers, and security concerns. Hence, computer and network security are a concern for traditional security awareness organizations. Vietnam, a tiny country in Southeast Asia, is one of the world's top 20 most populous coun-tries; however, the country's information and communication technology (ICT) economy has just recently evolved. As a result, it exits many vulnerabili-ties and security holes in its network system. This research seeks answers to the following five crucial questions to determine whether Vietnam is prepared to tackle any security issues or find solutions to them: What are cyber threats? Are they potentially hazardous to Vietnam? What can Vietnam do to protect itself against cyber-attacks? How can Vietnam work with foreign groups to address these concerns? What are the advantages of Visegrád's defense methods against cyber-attacks from other countries? Which cybersecurity solutions have been adaptable to Vietnam?

    This book is about certain risk assessment, risk analysis and risk management from a legal point of view. It discusses five different types of risks that business law needs to cope with nowadays. Some of these challenges are fairly new (artificial intelligence, AI), some are fairly old (limited liability), but they all trigger serious social challenges (like environmental concerns or social responsibility). Some problems are universal, some are global but none can be managed by the locally defined law. The controversy at hand will be decided, but the problem would not even be touched. Law, by definition, belongs to the realm and the existence of statehood, thus, the efficiency, the possibilities and the means of the law are predetermined by this relationship. In any event, risks, and not only the seldom occurrent ones, can be extremely high, and the damages can be overwhelming. Yet, when these risks come about, from a practical social point of view, it might not matter who is right and who is not.

    This collection of essays is based on presentations delivered at the international conference on Populism and Migration, held in Budapest on March 10¿11 2020. The conference formed part of a wider research project on the ¿Norms and Values in the European Migration and Refugee Crisis¿ (¿NoVaMigrä) and surveyed the period between 2014 and 2017. The conference focused on the questions of migration and populism to draw attention to the close connection between these two phenomena. The presentations and the articles devoted special attention to studying this relation during the refugee and migration crises, and their climax in the year 2015. In particular, the analyses surveyed the effect of migration on populist discourse and the strengthening of radical right-wing parties in Europe, as well as performed multifaceted investigations into the migration crisis in Hungary. Besides articles by international experts, the volume is made complete by studies from well-known Hungarian researchers.

    The European Union has been struggling with a multilevel poly-crisis, weakening popular support for European integration, over the past more than a decade. Political leaders aim to reverse these dynamics through democratising and politicising the Union in order to bring it closer to citizens. However, this runs counter to a trend of increasing political alienation among the same citizens at the national level. This is a book about troubled and troubling transformations in contemporary European societies and politics, which generate fears across the continent. Fears of disintegration at the European level, fears of disorder and instability at the national level, fears of disorientation at the individual level, fears of becoming irrelevant at the global level, and fears of the future that seems to be full of dangers and risks. The authors give an overview of public debates about key challenges ¿ regarding social inequalities, demography, migration, the ecological debt, sustainable development, democracy, communication, populism, or strategic sovereignty ¿ behind these fears, and explain alternative responses offered to them. They address university students in the first place, but also hope to shape awareness in a broader public. Today's fears, if ignored or left unanswered, have a dangerous potential to evolve into a new political era of anxiety in Europe, with a presumably devastating effect. But this is not inevitable. The future may not be as doomed as it looks at first glance.

    The question of aesthetics and aesthetic experience ¿ from Agamben's first books onward, which speaks of the destruction and refoundation of aesthetics ¿ to the latest works, which are essentially commentaries of collections of paintings and poems ¿ never disappears from Agamben's theoretical horizon. According to Agamben the greatest enigma of art is that we do not know why we need art in the first place. Humans are not only thinking and talking animals, but also creatures that create artworks and find enjoyment in them too. Agamben's own answer as to what art is good for is not aesthetic but fundamentally ethical: art is inseparably part of the happy life (vita beata).Veronika Darida is philosopher, aesthete, dramaturg. She is the Chair of the Department of Aesthetics at Eötvös Lorand University. Her main research interests are contemporary philosophy and theory of art.

    One of the internationally recognised research fields of the Department of Mongolian and Inner Asian Studies (Eötvös Loránd University) is the multilateral studies of various aspects of Mongolian Buddhism. This topic appears already in Gábor Bálint of Szentkatolna's (1844 1913) the first Hungarian Mongolist's linguistic materials, recorded among the Kalmyks in Astrakhan (1871) and the Mongols in Urga (1873). His materials are invaluable sources of 19th-century Mongolian Buddhism. The topic became one of the major academic subjects of Louis (Lajos) Ligeti (1902 1987), the founder of our Department and establisher of the philological research and philology-based education of Mongolian religious, historical and linguistic sources. We, the second and third generations of disciples, adherently follow his traditional methodology, nevertheless try to introduce new research approaches, as in the conference in 2019 and the present volume: i. e. the aspects of ¿tradition, invented tradition and innovation¿. The theme of the third conference (2019) and the present collection of articles is a topical one as it is closely connected to such social, political and cultural phenomena as ¿country branding¿, ¿country image¿, ¿cultural branding¿, all of them interwoven with the aspects of tradition, innovation and invented tradition.
