Abstracts

EN

The text deals with the institutional history of the Centre of Folk Art Production (ÚLUV) in the first years of its existence, i.e., between 1945 and 1948. The first part is is devoted to the ideological and organisational preconditions for its establishment, especially the long-term efforts of Ministerial Council Theodor Pistorius to organise folk production. In the following part, attention is paid to the structure and activities of the Centre and the problems it faced in this complicated period. It turns out that, at that time, the Centre was primarily a business and commercial project. The study was based primarily on sources in the well-preserved company archives, in which this first period is well documented.
