The region of Central and Eastern Europe is a complex one with an often forgotten history of multiculturalism and co-existence. Despite this, the region is also one of conflict, imperialism and wars, which continue even today. As Great Powers once again attempt to decide the fate of Central and Eastern Europe it should be useful to reflect on this region’s past and ensure that peaceful co-existence is a legacy that is not forgotten. That is why in this issue we have decided to dig deeper to uncover the various layers of legacy, many of which point to a strong multicultural past, unlike what many Western Europeans nations experienced. This in fact is what makes this region unique. From the Baltics down to the Western Balkans, various societies have long been shaped by a confluence of cultures, religions and traditions. Empires such as the Habsburg, Ottoman and Russian left lasting imprints, creating a mosaic of identities that continue to influence the region today. Yet, this diversity has often been overshadowed by nationalist narratives and geopolitical struggles. In this issue, we explore how this historical multiculturalism persists in memory, language and everyday life, and how it might serve as a foundation for a more inclusive and stable future amid ongoing challenges.
