2017
Abstract
The contribution presents, as an example of the films The Long Life Republic and the Carriage to Vienna, the transformation of the interpretation of World War II in the mid-1960s in Czechoslovakia. It places both works in a wider context.
It argues with the process of autonomy of science and culture. At the same time, however, he views these interpretations of the past as a politician argument that gave legitimacy to the reform agenda of the 1960s.
