The study analyzes the professional and public activities of historians who participated in debates on the founding of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia in 1988, which took place on the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of these events. It focuses on the forms of historiographical discourse in 1918 and at the end of the 1980s, treating the Czechoslovak and Yugoslav cases separately. It then examines how the specific activities of selected Czech, Slovak, Serbian, and Croatian historians reflected broader circumstances that influenced historical representation in both countries in 1918. In this respect, the study takes into account the changing position and perception of two key dates connected with the founding of the Czechoslovak and Yugoslav states – 28 October and 1 December. It makes note of the differences in perceptions of what essence and meaning the year 1918 was to have in Czechoslovak and Yugoslav history, and above all, it examines in detail the ways these aspects were reflected by historians in both socialist states at the end of the 1980s.

The current study analyses changes relating to the approach of Czechoslovak historiography to the phenomenon of Czech domestic anti-Austrian resistance (1914-1918), better known by its later name "Maffie". Firstly, the authors observe how the circumstances of academic research and also the manner of interpretation of this issue changed during the 1918-1968 period. In Part I, they firstly deal with the initial references to "the Maffie" following the foundation of an independent Czechoslovak state, namely the politisation and instrumentalisation of this concept in the public domain and especially its reflection in contemporary historiography. In Part II, the authors’ attention turns to the reflection of "the Maffie" on the part of Marxist historiography in the years 1948-1968. The authors demonstrate the changes of academic research on Czech anti-Austrian resistance not merely in the approaches of individual authors but also on the basis of a wider development of the science of history.

The paper examines the ways in which the heritage of the Czech anti-Austrian resistance was used in the political practice of the First Czechoslovak Republic between 1918 and 1925. It focuses on the question of what specific aspects from the history of the anti-Austrian resistance during the First World War were used by individual political actors in their public activity and in the rivalry between political parties. These tendencies in the early period of the existence of the Czechoslovak Republic are examined with regard to the formation and establishment of the “Maffie” narrative, which after 1918 was supposed to symbolise and efficiently present the activities of the anti-Austrian resistance in the Czech lands. On the examples of the political campaigning of the Czechoslovak National Democratic Party led by Karel Kramář and the Czech National Socialist Party headed by Václav Klofáč, the authors analyse their different approach and often contradictory interpretation of the events of the “national revolution” of 1914-1918. The paper also presents the limitations of this presentation, as well as the gradual decrease of the instrumentalisation of the heritage of the Czech anti-Austrian resistance in the Czechoslovak political practice, which became fully evident as soon as the mid-1920s.
