Abstract
The article focuses on the life of Slovak communist politician Gustáv Husák in the Slovak Republic during the Second World War. It mainly points out Husak's illegal work in the Communist Party of Slovakia, his persecution and participation in the Slovak National Uprising.
Additionally, the text extensively analyses social relations between different participants and studies their motives of behavior. All of this is also put into the perspective with the consideration of Czech-Slovak relations, which had significantly changed during the war.
The work is to deliberately exceed the biographical theme.
