This study looks at the circumstances of the origin of the campaign against so-called Slovak bourgeois nationalism in spring 1950. It primarily focuses on poet and Communist Party of Slovakia figure, Ladislav Novomeský, who became one of its victims. Ideas of the existence of so-called bourgeois nationalism in Slovakia were an entirely deliberate construction with no basis in reality serving only to justify the Communist Party's immediaet needs for power. The study analyses from many perspectives the (ir)relevant arguments made in the allegations against Novomeský. It also looks in detail at how the poet's self-criticism, repeated a number of times, gradually deepened. Escalating attacks and repeated calls for party discipline forced Novomeský to resign from the use of rational arguments and instead mechanically confess to his guilt. His willingness to concede was helped significantly by the fact that so-called Slovak bourgeois nationalism was criticised in spring 1950 merely as an ideological deviation, and not as a criminal act.

This paper is devoted to the fate of poet and member of the Slovak Communist Party, Ladislav Novomeský, in the middle of the nineteen fifties, while he was serving ten years in prison, to which he had been sentenced during a fabricated process with so-called Slovak bourgeoisie nationalists in April 1954. It describes the conditions under which the poet served his sentence and the circumstances of his conditional release in December 1955. In relation to the first wave of so-called de-Stalinisation in 1956 it describes the unsuccessful efforts of Slovak and Czech Communist intellectuals to rehabilitate Novomeský from the political, civil and literary aspect. It focuses on the impact of imprisonment on the poet’s mental state, his worldview orientation and self-reflexion in life. From various viewpoints it endeavours to describe Novomeský’s ideological profile and its development from the nineteen twenties. and in relation to this it chiefly concentrates on answering the question of why Novomeský, after his personal tragic experience and acquiring further knowledge about the broader context of the political processes in the nineteen fifties, did not deny the Marxist-Lenin ideology and retained his conviction of the developmental potential of the socialist project.
