| Description | The contribution presents transformation of the legal perception of the state borders legislature in Czechoslovak legislature in the years after 1948, with all the consequences that affected its permeability and its appearance. This paper will focus mainly on the relationship of citizens and national borders, ie. how to get over it, what the citizens could do for it and how diffi cult it was. Soon after 1948 many things changed compared to conditions of the fi rst Republic of Czechoslovakia. The totalitarian regime gradually began to preclude common border crossings and so residents of Czechoslovakia became prisoners in their own country. Besides the form of borders the contribution will mainly focus on illegal crossing of the borders, as it was characterized in the Criminal Code. |
