Abstract

The coming to terms with the communist past was a major challenge in the countries of the Eastern Bloc following the demise of communism 1989/90. The Czech Republic was hereby no exception. The article aims to describe the relation between the use of anti-communism and the failure of coming to terms with the communist past. The focus lies on the description of the gradual decline of anti-communism, with the description of parallel cleavages and divisions in the Czech society, catalysing the turn of events. The main thesis of the paper is that anti-communism in the Czech Republic had failed with the situation unlikely to change in the near future.
