Is history repeating itself?

World history is contradictory. On the one hand, it is certainly fascinating with the number of courageous deeds and glorious victories that moved human society forward. And if that failed, then at least with heroic defeats that positively influenced national consciousness. Children have been learning about this in history classes for hundreds of years, monuments are built to heroes, streets are named after them. On the other hand, history is also full of oppression and killing. Is it all random or does it have any rules? Does history repeat itself? Are there any laws of history? Can history be predicted? And what about the mysteries of history? The book also includes an analysis of the main historical categories (such as assassinations, demonstrations, uprisings, revolutions, wars, and others) based on examples from world history with a special focus on the history of Central Europe. Intended primarily for lovers of history, politics, and mysteries, but with regard to the popular form and a wider range of readers.
