Abstract
As national groups are concerned, constructivist argumentation typically follows the process of establishing national identities. Thus, it commonly studies the development of a nationally indifferent population to a population that is nationally conscious.
On a general level, this paper analyses and illustrates the opposite process, i.e., the process of 'denationalization', or in other words, the emergence of national indifference. I study how nationally conscious groups of Czech colonists from the military frontier, who in the 1820s settled in the village of Svatá Helena in Banat gradually became a nationally indifferent group (mainly after their migration to Bulgaria where they founded the village of Voyvodovo) and whose defining mark and principle of organisation became religion.
