Ján Ševčík is today one of the forgotten figures in Czechoslovak history. Although he took part in a great number of important historical events of the first half of the 20th century, he was not generally one of the best-known carriers of these changes. His first prominent role did not come until February 1948, when he helped Gottwald build a new political regime by seizing the Democratic Party and transforming it into a loyal satellite of the Communists, renamed the Party of Slovak Revival, which participated in the National Front until the Velvet Revolution. In addition to social and political changes, his life story also shows us some unknown sides of historical personalities, such as Jozef Tiso, Ján Ursíny or Viliam Široký. Through their mutual interactions, we can also trace his entire activities and place them in the broader context of the development of the Czechoslovak Republic in the first half of the 20th century.
