Abstract
Shortly after Slovakia became independent in 1993, a study of its domestic politics in the first two years of independence indicates that the British press, according to Adam Burgess, ‘cast [Slovakia] as a probable member of that unenviable club, “the East,” a demon which apparently throws a dark shadow over Europe proper as the continent makes its way into the next century’. 1 After examining various issues that made the news in those two years, Burgess concludes: ‘It would appear then that British journalism on Slovakia has been hostage to an ideological agenda which is not the product of actual events within the country itself. The evidence does not suggest prejudice, but it would appear that events within Slovakia are interpreted through definite prisms.’ 2 Why was Slovakia portrayed in this way in the British press? Did Slovakia ever belong to the ‘East’? What are Slovakia’s historical roots? The purpose of this chapter is to answer these questions and also to contribute to the elimination of certain misconceptions of Slovak history that still persist in the literature. 3

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
