"Stratification Violence" : Interventions in the Social Structure of the Czechoslovak Society 1938 - 1989
2017
Abstract
In the period 1938 - 56, the Czech society underwent various forms of totalitarian domination and undemocratic policy execution. It was characterized by various violent interventions in the social structure of society, nationalist and racial at the time of the German occupation, national-politics at the "Third Republic" and by so-called class struggle at the time of Stalinism.
After 1956 a new, "post-revolutionary" Czechoslovak society emerged, whose social structure was completely different from the society between the two wars. Its development was forcibly closed by the Russian occupation in 1968.
