Popis The crime of defamation of nation, race and belief is still one of the institutions by which states ensure peaceful coexistence between their citizens. This offence was similarly regulated in the criminal legislation of socialist Czechoslovakia. One of its most distinctive features, characteristic of the entire communist rule, was the protection of supporters of the socialist social and state system. This regulation also de facto ensured the criminalization of public criticism of the Communist Party, its policies and also their representatives. This paper summarizes the normative regulation of this criminal offence from the communist seizure of power in 1948 to the fall of this totalitarian regime and the changes that occurred in Czechoslovak criminal law in 1990. The paper also uses examples from the contemporary application practice of the District Court for Prague 1.
