Abstract
The study focuses on the Czech nationalism in the first years of interwar Czechoslovakia and explores in detail the particular figure of Judeo-Bolshevism, as it was used in the Czech national discourse. Use of the term of the Jewish "race", which was supposed to strive for power, was to help in uniting the national society and discard everything, which did not fit within the framework of uniformly represented "national interest".
Stigmatizing bolshevism (communism) by its presumed "Jewishness" was used as an intelligible component of the identity language and helped to preserve the Czech "national unity" as a main pillar of the newly founded state. The revolutionary project of the radical left therefore could have been positioned outside of this framework and thereby displaced out of the unified national collective.
