The aim of the article is to uniquely summarize the findings of long-term research to point out that the instrumentalization of the history of post-war migration is influenced by the effort to recodify historical events in the interest of new political goals and the needs of political practice. In the article were used several methodological approaches. Long-term archival research findings were compared with monitoring of Slovak and Hungarian daily press after 1989. Based on the obtained documents by comparing them and by generalizing the knowledge gained in previous periods, which has been presented in several works, the author tries to take a look at the instrumentalization of post-war national policy and migratory population movements in Czechoslovakia and Hungary. The author concludes that the instrumentalization of the history of post-war migrations is influenced by the desire to recodify historical events in the interest of new political aims and the needs of political practice.

(Czech title: Politika odvolani jako inovativni nastroj prosazovani transparentnosti a obcanske ucasti ve slovenske a polske mistni samosprave). In recent years, social scientists have paid considerable attention to the rise of various innovations in the practice of democracy, particularly tools for improving the inclusiveness and effectiveness of citizen participation in policy. However, fewer studies have sought to empirically assess the degree to which such democratic tools actually bring about positive outcomes in citizen participation. This article contributes to that agenda by using several different criteria to assess the practice of local recalls in Poland and Slovakia, the only two post-communist countries where the citizen-initiated recall process is legally binding. Based on original qualitative research, the article finds support to the view that, despite the 'populist' aspects of the device, the recall process can play a positive role in fostering citizen participation and the restoring legitimacy to public office when politicians are perceived to abuse their power.
