The border in Czech feature films during normalisation

Abstract

During the normalisation the Czechoslovak Communist party created a medial image of the National Security Corps (SNB) and Czechoslovak People's Army (ČSLA), which could be documented on the examples of Czech feature movies from this period. The army and SNB were presented as well functioning elements of the state system.
