>Only few generations in human's history had or have an
>opportunity to live in two millenniums. Just contemporary
>generations have this opportunity - we are that "lucky people"
>which have the chance to live both in second and third
>millenniums.
>The end of 19th century is characterized as nostalgical "fin du
>siecle". The break of centuries have brought expressive changes.
>20th century was (or is) radically distinguished from 19th and
>a couple of people reacted to this events very soon. May be they
>have prepared the background of these changes.
>The end of our millennium, as we see it today, is distinguished
>from its general course. What does it mean "second millennium"
>for human's history and what the third? Academy did overstep the
>millennium frontier in prognoses, scenarios or considerations;
>pragmatically or only from clear curiosity.
>We realize, that each day is a "millennium break" - our each day
>had existed 1000 years ago. However, our situation is unique. Our
>date has the ability return us back to the depth of previous
>millenniums and points to the future. It is the reachable
>proximity of decimal date, which can present us all previous
>ruptures. Do we have an interest on this presentation? Are we
>fatally connected with it or is it only an outside interest?
>We live only in the second millennium - and human's existence is
>older. Besides this fact our date is meaningful only for that
>part of people, which accept or reflect the Christian calendar.
>Return to the millenniums before Christ is only a symmetrical
>back-projection of our culture. This millenniums had different
>orders and dates. Do we adapt history before Christ to our
>culture, our image, our comprehension of the time?
>The year 0 had raptured historical calendar continuity. In spite
>of this fact it is OUR date, which is connected with OUR life:
>date of birth, dead of near people, personal or communal events.
>It is a waiting for new Christs or/and anti-Christs, prophets,
>ends of the world, miracles, changes, breaks. That is why the
>millennium break is the occasion to evaluate all what was
>happened in "our time"; the occasion look at the direction of the
>human development.
>These questions are typical first of all for that part of
>community, which accepts or reflects our calendar. Is it the same
>sensful occasion for people of different calendars too?
>Each nowadays rupture has less or more global character. That
