Abstract
The paper focuses on the emergence and evolution of Czech extreme right after 1989 in the context of the formation of a skinhead subculture in the Czech Republic. It studies the relationship that exists (or existed) between both phenomena and the variables influencing it.
It takes account of the basic layering of Czech extremenright and internal tensionswithin the skinhead subculture, both in terms of ideological divisions and in terms of attitudes to political activit within the racist stream (acceptance versus rejection). Then it analyses the possible combinations of these moments and their effects on the mobilization and demobilization of the extreme right in the Czech Republic depending on the attitudes of the racist stream.
