REPORT ON THE ISSUE OF EXTREMISM IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC IN 2010 Introduction The Report on the Issue of Extremism in the Czech Republic in 2010 (hereinafter referred to as “the Report”) is submitted under Government Resolution No. 320 of 3 May 2010 as an integral part of the Strategy for Combating Extremism. It is also a follow-up to previous Reports on the Issue of Extremism in the Czech Republic. 1 The Report was compiled by the Ministry of the Interior, however documents provided by representatives of the intelligence services, the Police of the Czech Republic and other governmental authorities have also contributed to the Report; namely the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic, and the Supreme Public Prosecutor’s Office. Their most important activities relating to the issue of extremism or some aspects of it are set out in the second part, which deals with evaluation of the Strategy for Combating Extremism in 2010. Other activities carried out by the Ministry of the Interior and pertaining to the area of extremism prevention as well as activities implemented by the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, the participation of these two ministries in tasks arising from the Strategy for Combating Extremism and their considerable contribution to preventing and combating forms of extremism, are all described in Annex 1. Although there are links in the Czech Republic between the extremist scenes, in particular the right-wing extremist scene, and football hooligans, the issue of fan violence is tackled within the Ministry of the Interior as a separate subject. The phenomenon of spectators violence can be seen in a simplified way as a component of extremism. The “Status Report on Spectators Violence, Impacts of the Strategy and Proposals for Further Measures” which brought about comprehensive evaluation of how the system for tackling the issue of spectator violence had functioned, was approved by the Czech Government on 1 December 2010 by their Resolution No. 860. The Report encompasses not only an evaluation of the actions taken but also a forecast of development in the upcoming period and related definitions of new tasks. In general, the activities to be carried out in the next period will be based on current trends and on better utilisation of adopted measures so that it will be possible to effectively respond to the development of the fan scene. An emphasis will be placed, on the one hand, on effective action against persons who use sports events only to facilitate unlawful acts, and on the other hand a positive and friendly approach towards unproblematic fans. 2 Further, the Report does not deal with the issue of sects and pseudo-religious organisations since no activities of such organisations were reported in relation to security risks of penetration of governmental structures, the political or economic sphere, or danger to the democratic foundations of the state. 1 The Ministry of the Interior has drawn up Reports on the Issue of Extremism in the Czech Republic since 1998. Thirteen such documents are available on the web pages of the Ministry of the Interior. 2 See http://www.mvcr.cz , section O nás (About us), banner Kriminalita, divácké násilí. (Crime, spectators’ violence) There are available documents dealing with fan violence including the above-mentioned Report. 1 1.1 Definition of Terms The concept of extremism, crimes having an extremist subtext/context, and other terms used in previous Reports are identical with the definitions of such terms as formulated in previous Reports dealing with the issue of extremism.3 The term “extremism” which differs between right-wing and left-wing extremism and as such has been interpreted thus far in the Ministry of the Interior’s Reports, is duly justified. This phenomenon has been and will be present in democratic society as has been proven by experience of traditional democracies. However, the term “extremism” as it was defined in the last century can not cover some current or potential phenomena which can be seen in society or will be reflected in manifestations of hate in the future. It has been obvious for a long time that terms such as “crime having an extremist subtext”, “extremist criminal acts” and so forth are indefensible and substantially limited.

The largest deposits of coal are located in the basins of the foothills of the Ore Mountains, at Sokolov, Chomutov, Most and Teplice. These areas were developed exclusively on the basis of coal mining at the expense of other economic activities, the natural environment, the existing built environment, social structures and public health. Everything had to make way for coal mining as coal was considered the “life blood of industry”. Mining executives, mining projection auxiliary operations, and especially Communist party functionaries were rewarded for ever increasing the quantities of coal mined and the excavation and relocation of as much overburden as possible. When I began in 1979 as an officer of government of the regional Regional National Committee (KNV) for North Bohemia in Ústí nad Labem, the craze for coal was in full swing, as villages, one after another, were swallowed up.

Trinity College Digital Repository, https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses/469 Events that led to the Czechoslovakian Prague Spring and its immediate aftermath Senior thesis towards Russian major Natalie Babjukova Spring 2015 ` The invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union on August 21 st 1968 dramatically changed not only Czech domestic, as well as international politics, but also the lives of every single person in the country. It was an intrusion of the Soviet Union into Czechoslovakia that no one had expected. There were many events that led to the aggressive action of the Soviets that could be dated way back, events that preceded the Prague Spring. Even though it is a very recent topic, the Cold War made it hard for people outside the Soviet Union to understand what the regime was about and what exactly was wrong about it. Things that leaked out of the country were mostly positive and that is why the rest of the world did not feel the need to interfere. Even within the country, many incidents were explained using excuses and lies just so citizens would not want to revolt. Throughout the years of the communist regime people started realizing the lies they were being told, but even then they could not oppose it.

  • Reflections on Rock Music Culture in East Europe and the Soviet Union
    Etnomüzikoloji Dergisi Ethnomusicology Journal Yıl/Year: 1 • Sayı/Issue: 2 (2018) Leninism Versus Lennonism; Reflections on Rock Music Culture in East Europe and the Soviet Union Timothy W. Ryback From December 16 to 18, 1965, the Central Committee of the East Ger- man communist party devoted a special session to the ideological welfare of the country’s youth. The committee intended to set the ideological agenda, and to underscore the importance of protecting young people from the per- nicious influences of western youth culture, in particular, the increasingly pervasive phenonemon of rock and pop music. The East German leaders identified gowing rowdiness in schools, drunkenness on the streets, rising in- cidents of criminal activity, including physical asaults and rape, and equally disturbing a noticeble rise in ideological disaffection among the youth. Horst Sindermann, responsible for press and radio, emphasized this latter point with a concrete example. “A 15-year-old, who had not learned a single word of English and who had to leave school in the fifth grade because he could not even speak German properly, sang popular songs in English evening after evening”, Sindermann reported. “How could he do this? He listened to tapes forty times and learned by his own phonetic method to give off sounds that he perceived as being English. There is no doubt that with these methods, you could teach beat music to a parakeet”. The party chairman,Walter Ulbricht, underscored the ideological threat by invoking the lyrics of a song from the Beatles: “The endless monotony of this ‘yeah, yeah, yeah’ is not just ridiculous, it is spirit- ually deadening”.

Qy~ oWd!-1 Dean of the Graduate School 430804 ii PREFACE During the twenty year period between the Versailles settlement and the collapse of the European security system Czechos lovakia alone among the new states of Europe developed a viable democratic order. Yet with­ in less than three years after the conclusion of the second World War this "model democracy" wa s overthrown in a coup d'etat by the Communist party with the support of the parliamentary majority and the organized working class. Czechos lovakia is the only democratic republic that has been subverted successfully by Communist s , and the only country that the Communi st s have captured without either recourse to civil warfare--as in Russia, China, Yugoslavia and Vietnam--or to the intervention of the Soviet armed forces--as in the numerous satellite states of Europe and Asia which came under Russian occupation in the wake of the war against the Axis . This thesis i s an attempt to analyse the events which led to the demise of democracy in Czechoslovakia in February, 1948, and to discern the causes for the weakening of the democratic ideology, the spread of Communist influence, and the failure of the legal and political safe­ guards to preserve the constitutional order of the state.
