The Serbian Cultural Association Prosvjeta (abbreviated: SKD "Prosvjeta" or СКД "Просвјета") is the central cultural, educational and scientific institution of the Serbs in Croatia, with the aim of preserving and developing national identity.

Prosvjeta is managed by principles of multiculturalism and interculturalism, and their own cultural awareness. In accordance with their understanding of the national identity of the Serbs in Croatia, Prosvjeta affirms its value in two ways: as part of the Croatian culture and as part of the Serbian people culture as a whole.

Музей Шістдесятництва  був створений з ініціативи однойменної неурядової організації. Ідея була наочно втілена двома українськими політичними в’язнями Надією Світличною та Миколою Плахотнюком, які у 1970-х і 1980-х роках відбували довготермінові покарання. Більшість архівних колекцій музею складають приватні матеріали та документи українських шістдесятників, які були зібрані в Україні та на еміграції. На постійній виставці представлені твори талановитих художників, скульпторів, графічних дизайнерів, художників, літературознавців, поетів та інших митців, які були учасниками руху шістдесятників в Україні.

У музеї зберігаються написані та опубліковані шістдесятниками самвидави, чималі бібліотечні збірки творів українських та зарубіжних авторів, рукописи, унікальні фотографії активістів 60-х років, а також артефакти, вироби ручної роботи та предмети щоденного вжитку, виконані в’язнями трудових таборів Сибіру. Загалом колекція постійно збільшується. На даний час вона нараховує понад 30000 музейних одиниць.

The Slovak National Gallery was established by the Slovak National Council by law (Act No. 24 of 29 July 1948). The opening exhibiton of the gallery was the Exhibition of Paintings of Old Masters from the SNG Collections(1949). The year of establishment of the gallery is relatively late when compared with other countries in Europe and it was the result of Slovak ambitions after the war, promoted mainly by Ladislav Novomeský, a poet, and then minister of education and culture. Historically, it was created as a traditional museum of Fine Arts of local as well as wider European provenance. The collection of artworks from the 20th century and mapping contemporary artistic culture were vital tasks of the Gallery from the beginning. In the course of its development, the collections were expanded to include other spheres of visual culture. The SNG enriched its activities by the acquisition of artefacts of Applied Art, Design, Photography, and Stage Design, and it explored the specific phenomenon of Naïve Art. Later, the collectors’ program expanded to include artefacts associated with the development of Architecture and Other Media. 
SNG's activities were initially focused on the acquisition, research, rescue, and presentation of cultural heritage, especially in all disciplines of art, painting, sculpture, drawing, and graphics, and gradually other areas of artistic creation have joined them. In 1960, the SNG's acquisition activity expanded into artworks of applied art and industrial art, and from 1965 to Naïve Art (obtained through international tours - Naïve Art Triennale); later it expanded in the field of scenography and artistic photography. Since 1986, the collections of architecture (studies, projects, models) have been profiled. The entire SNG collection consists of about 70,000 artworks, and interest is concentrated on the idea of ​​identifying with the history of Slovakia, with its cultural heritage. The focus lies on the field of art of Slovak provenance and art in Slovakia.
Today the SNG’s complex of buildings in Bratislava consists of the original structure of the Baroque Water Barracks, with an additional structure (the bridge and administrative building from the 1970s), and the Esterházy Palace (built in 1870).
Details about the operation of the gallery can be found in its Annual Report from 2016 available in Notes (only in the Slovak language). 

The Slovak National Museum is the top state institution responsible for preparing museum collections, facilitating scientific research and organizing cultural and educational events in this field in the Slovak Republic. 

Based on the results of scientific research and surveys, it creates, documents, processes, evaluates, protects, and makes accessible various collections of artistic, historical, or scientific objects to the general public, along with information on the natural and social development of the country and its ethnic communities as well as the evolution of the Slovak nation. It is also charged with responsibilities related to the creation, documentation and protection of collections integral to the country’s national cultural heritage. As part of its cultural and educational events, it presents various collections through permanent expositions and temporary exhibits throughout Slovakia as well as abroad and undertakes various other types of museum communication. It carries out scientific undertakings and makes their results accessible to the general public through various publications. 

The Slovak National Museum operates one specialised public archive and a scientific library. It is responsible for the administration of hundreds of monuments, including national cultural monuments. The responsibilities of the Slovak National Museum are carried out by its Board of Management and its 18 specialised museums, which serve as documentary, scientific, and methodological workplaces. The Slovak National Museum also serves as the coordinating, methodological, professional advisory, statistical, educational, and informational centre of the entire museum sector in the Slovak Republic.

In May 1944, the Department of National Security (Oddelek za zaščito naroda), abbreviated as OZNA, was formed. It was a military intelligence and counter-intelligence organization. In 1946; the military and civilian parts of OZNA were separated; the civilian part changed its name to the State Security Administration, but it was commonly known by its abbreviation UDBA. The agency was a tool of the communist regime to keep it in power and spread terror so people would submit to the communist regime. The UDBA had a broad agenda, and until 1951 was even in charge of criminal investigations and held special prison cells in different locations in Ljubljana and elsewhere in the country.

Besides official employees, there was a network of informants, and their number in the first years after 1945 grew rapidly; in 1950, 24,193 informants were registered in Slovenia. The network of informants in Slovenia was the largest in Ljubljana, and most of the informants were from four main focal social or professional groups: the Roman Catholic Church, the so-called ex-bourgeoisie right, peasants and so-called enemies among their own ranks. Group trials against real and imaginary opponents were held. The UDBA was a feared arm of the communist regime, especially in first 10 to 15 years, until the communists acquired a firm grip over society. In 1966, at the Brioni Plenum, some changes were made; firstly, the autonomy of UDBA branches in the republics increased, and secondly, internal affairs were handled directly by the municipal administrative bodies and the secretariats of internal affairs in each republic or their provincial bodies The regional branch of the UDBA with its seat in Ljubljana and smaller working groups in the field operated in Slovenia. All information and data flowed into the central unit in Ljubljana and was sent on from there to users. Field groups had working contacts with the local authorities, but did not answer to them.
