abstract
Prof PhDr. Věra Olivová, DrSc., presented a contribution called “Power Manipulation and Political Manipulation of History of the First Republic”. She pointed out that this relatively short period of the history of our State managed to provoke criticism by so many and so diverse powers. The varied powers emerged not only among the contemporaries of the First Republic, but they have been trying to create its false image Jong after the First Republic became history itself. Its democratic character irritated Germany, Italy and even Poland. Germany considered independent Czechoslovakia to be a “historic error”, an attempt to break “a thousand years’ bonds of appurtenance of Czech space to German Reich”. The view was repeated also by Czech fascists and other groups collaborating with German occupying forces. But the First Republic was condemned as a bourgeois or even imperialist state also by the communist party, even after 1948. However, the richness of historic facts fought for itself and brought about a positive image of the era in the work of new generations of historians. The author of the contribution criticizes the fact that not even after 1989 was the new space for democracy used for the recreation of traditions of the First Republic. She reminds us of the influence of a work, whose authors are hidden under pseudonym Podiven. Prof. Olivová reminds us that creation of an independent state is negatively assessed in the work and its end is explained by “fatal decay from inside”. Politics of T. G. Masaryk and mainly Dr. Edvard Beneš are principally refused there. These views have been influencing many present politicians and journalists in their assessment of the First Republic. However, the author expresses her firm conviction that historic truth and historic documents will contribute to the creation of a truthful image of the First Republic.
