abstract
Mgr. Radovan Suchánek reflects in his article “Development of Public Holidays’ Law Since the Beginning of Czechoslovakia up to the Present” on history of our state and statehood from a specific point of view. He asks, how changing of specific political systems and regimes, democratic and totalitarian, national freedom and foreign rule, influence of religion or concrete churches on society manifest in what we pay homage to or reject not only by erecting or destroying monuments, but also by introducing, keeping and cancelling public holidays. The determining factors influence not only the facts, which are reminded by the holiday and which are by its cancelling (or by changing its content, see October 28) consigned to more or less artificial oblivion. They also influence whether the holidays are introduced or cancelled by religion, church or state and whether the state is laic or even promoting atheism or on the contrary a state recognizing primary role of a religion and of a church. These problems and their varying solutions are shown by Radovan Suchánek on examples of emerging, changing and nullifying of respective legal rules and thus the author provides an image of recent decades of our history, an image, which is both colourful and interesting.
