The main objective of the present study is to approach the course of retribution in the town Banská Bystrica in the period 1945 – 1947, focusing on its social aspects. In other words, we were a common man, a general member of the political organizations of the First Slovak Republic, for whom the end of the war was marked by possible imprisonment, trial and social contempt, which could have been amplified by the Communists' coming to power in 1948. By analysing the investigation and judicial files of the local of the People's Court in Banská Bystrica, we tried to create the most objective picture of the course of retribution in the city, summarizing our results and using the analytical and comparative method to evaluate the results of our research.
