Abstract

The gradual process of establishment and changes of the Communist dictator-ship including its deep crisis in the years 1953-1956 was crucial for the creation of the new post-war society. Using the comparison of dominant discourses and the every- day language of the actors the author reveals the basic values and images which contributed to the stabilization or in contrast caused destabilization of the Com-munist rule under construction.
