Abstract

The dominant linguistic-ethnic national idea created before the eyes of the Czechs enemies outside and inside their "national borders". The article shows how the all-encompassing idea of the Czech nation, with their claims spread in Prague in the second half of the 19th century.

Simultaneously, the national idea created also a new space which was very exercised in their favor, and not just in the real world.
