...offer was made by way of the Warsaw (formerly Lublin) Polish Government, which indicated that it might be willing to trade Teschen in return for Czech recognition. The threat was made by way of the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic, whose Kiev radio unexpectedly broadcast a claim to the Czechoslovak province of Carpatho-Ukraine (also known as Ruthenia), the only part of Czechoslovakia yet liberated by the Red Army.

The landlords have gone into local administrative posts (when they played ball with Lublin), or gone to jail (when they did not). In London the Government in Exile was powerless.
