Abstract

The death met the Czech society in the first weeks of the cataclysmic events in March 1848. However, it was an indirect encounter, as the Czech company could blitz only to the dead outside their own national and geographic environment.

The cult of the dead to the 1848 revolution, we define the expression of a sophistical dealing with the victims from the ranks of the revolutionary camp, as a kind of instrumentalization of the first civilian casualties of social and political purposes. The Prague Whit unrest Stellin for the Czech company's first real movement with violence and armed struggle in our own streets and barricades are - and therefore with death and dying.
