The study deals with the relationship between critics from the magazine DAV's circle and the Czech critic F. X. Salda. There seem to be three complementary ways relating to Salda that can be tracked in the Davists' approach to him from 1937 (F. X. Salda's death), and especially after 1948: they are called domestication, interpretation and manipulation. Salda's critical methods were well received and applied by Slovak Marxist critics from the magazine DAV in order to solve Slovak culture problems however his opinions were also significantly reshaped under the influence of ideology. Vladimir Clementis is used as an example to prove this fact. The study deals also with the influence of Salda's personalistic criticism as a model and pattern on Slovak cultural environment before World War II and is concerned with opinion adjustments made by some of the Slovak promoters of Salda's criticism after the rise of Communist dictatorship (Alexander Matuska). In conclusion, there is given evidence that Salda as a representative of a certain approach to cultural issues is still present in the current Slovak literary discussions, e.g. in Julius Vanovic's works.
