Abstract

An article depicts an activity of Czech Legionnaires and members of the Sokol club during and immediately after the World War One in Russia. Rhythmical exercises and "tableau vivant" created and produced by Sokol club members were inspired by shocking war experiences and traumas.

Allegorical stylisation reveals a general phenomenon of collapse of the ideal of strong and disciplined men's body (always ready to fight).
