Abstract
The paper's author engages in a discussion on the character of post-war Czechoslovakia in the period 1945-1948 and on the differences between communism and fascism. It seems that the most precise way to speak of this period is as a period of popular democratic revolution culminating in the communist coup d'etat in February 1948.
Due to ideological and practical political reasons, it was certainly not a fascist regime. Post-war Czechoslovakia was in the grip of communism, not fascism.
