Following the party's success in the 2002 elections, the Communist Party of Slovakia (KSS) became a parliamentary party. This article argues that although parliamentary status has strengthened the hand of the leadership and exacerbated tensions within the party, there has been little discernible change in the party's programme and policy prescriptions. Moreover, it argues that the party's seemingly contradictory stance on the EU can be explained by the role played by Europe in domestic Slovak politics over the past decade and the shift from accession to member state status. Furthermore, it argues that the party's support appears relatively solid, although it faces tough strategic choices.

The study analyses the political decisions of Gustáv Husák from his election to the position of first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in April 1969 until December 1970. On the basis of the original sources, it evaluates the development, in which important normalization measures were applied in the political leadership of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. The position on the so-called anti-socialist forces in the Communist party, rehabilitations, expulsion from the Communist Party, the policy of the “ultra-leftist forces” and evaluation of the developments before and after January 1968 were changed. G. Husák’s Normalization policy was carried out under pressure from Moscow, which supported the domestic conservative forces.

The study analyses the policy of the leadership of the Communist Party of Slovakia (CPS) to the communists of Hungarian nationality after February 1948. It examines the attitude of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPC) and CPS to the membership of people of Hungarian nationality in their ranks with an emphasis on the fact that significant questions in this area were decided on the level of the CPC leadership in Prague. The Communist Party of Slovakia, already only a regional organization of the CPC, consistently put these decisions into practice. The paper gives a picture of the formation and activity of the Hungarian Commission at the Central Committee of the CPS, which worked from November 1948 to October 1949.

After February 1948, the Communist Party of Slovakia (CPS) began to change from a party struggling for power into a party that had taken power and was beginning to apply it. There was mass recruitment of members already by the end of February 1948, and this process further intensified in the following months. Tens of thousands of people joined the CPS, some of them motivated by profit-seeking or fear of possible persecution. The party apparatus grew and gradually took over real power, so that the state organs became secondary. Mass recruitment also brought many negative features and after a few months, it became a subject of criticism, especially from the Soviet side. Therefore, by the beginning of summer, mass recruitment stopped and the policy of the regime gradually changed as a result of international political factors. The dissatisfaction of part of the domestic population from summer 1948 also contributed to the introduction of sharp persecution of real or potential opponents of the Communist Party. The official merging of the Communist Party of Slovakia and the Czech Communist Party was prepared within the ruling party in this period and carried out in autumn 1948. The CPS ceased to exist as an independent party. The same period brought the introduction of various laws that later became symbols of the crimes of the communist regime.

The study considers the development in the leadership of the Communist Party of Slovakia, a regional organization of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia from the occupation of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic by the armies of the Warsaw pact and the extraordinary congress of the CPS at the end of August 1968 until the appointment of its leading representative G. Husák to the function of First Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPC in mid April 1969. In this period, the leadership of the CPS underwent a turbulent political development from an exemplary reformist communist body with the potential to continue the reforms at least to a limited degree, into a united bloc of Husák’s realists, who had the ambition to extend the Normalization process to the whole CPC. Apart from the objective international and internal political situation, this change was also strongly influenced by the high political ambitions of G. Husák, who showed his true face in this period, as a pragmatic political utilitarian, although, paradoxically, he had stood at the head of the reformist communists in the CPS from January to August 1968.

Antonin Novotny assumed the function of First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in 1953 and the office of the President of Czechoslovakia in 1957, at a time when Slovak national organs and the Communist Party of Slovakia had been totally subjugated to Prague centralism, and all strivings towards increasing their independence were regarded as 'bourgeois nationalism' and liquidated at the very onset. The question of Slovak self-government returned at the beginning of the 1960s together with de-Stalinisation and the wish of some of the Slovak Party groups and intelligentsia to rehabilitate the 'bourgeois nationalists' - communists, headed by Gustav Husák, sentenced at a political trail held in 1954. Despite their rehabilitation in 1963 Novotny continued to deploy the menace of Slovak nationalism and opposed all intentions to increase the competence of Slovak national and Party organs. More, he was of the opinion that the 'Slovak question' was a mere economic problem and not a national one. His numerous unfortunate decisions, emphasis on Czech contribution to the economic promotion of the eastern part of the country, a tendency to ignore the national tradition of Slovakia and its communist leaders meant that Novotny aggravated increasingly wide circles of the local Party apparatus. In October 1967 this trend resulted in a controversy between Novotny and the leadership of the Communist Party of Slovakia, headed by Alexander Dubcek, which resulted in Novotny being deprived of the function of First Secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (January 1968) and the post of President (March 1968) and inaugurated the 'Prague spring'.

The Communist Party of Slovakia (CPS) formed in May 1939, became a government party in spring 1945. Its membership base grew rapidly, reaching almost 200,000 by the end of 1945. After re-registration of members and party screening at the end of 1945 and the beginning of 1946, the party had about 150,000 members in the middle of 1946, but their number was again approaching 200,000 at the time of the February coup of 1948. The organizational structure of the CPS comprised four parts. The first was the local or village organizations, the second were the district organizations in all 80 districts, and the third were the 11 regional organizations. The fourth and highest part was the leadership of the CPS, which is the Central Committee and associated bodies. The CPS had a professional party apparatus. It was not very numerous, with perhaps 200 functionaries from the districts to the centre. This number increased only slightly up to February 1948. After the liberation, the central figures in the leadership of the CPS were Karol Šmidke and Gustav Husák. This leadership was removed at the national conference of the CPS at Žilina in August 1945. Viliam Široký became the chairman of the party, and Stefan Bastovansky became the general secretary. The CPS was formally an independent political party, but it worked in unity with the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, active in the Czech Lands, and was subordinate to its political line.

The study focuses on the Slovak literary life between the years 1945 - 1948, especially on the relations and conflicts among Slovak writers and intellectuals in the short period before the communist coup. In the paper they are analysed public reactions to the cleansing of Slovak cultural life in the contemporary cultural journals, whereas the author pays attention mainly on the communist writers. Although these intellectuals were members of the Communist party, many of them had different opinions on how to deal with the problem of cleansing after the World War II. The study wants to emphasize variability of opinions among the communist´s writers and the attention of the study is turned to the interior of the writer´s community, who has been traditionally quarrelled since the first Czechoslovak republic and divided by personal conflicts.

The study is directed towards the regional party purges within the CC CPS Bratislava in the period 1949–1951, and their connection with the campaign known as “searching for the internal traitors”, then occurring within the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. They included the dismissal of the two leading secretaries of the CC CPS in Bratislava: Andrej Kaboš and Ervín Polák. The study is not devoted only to the circumstances of their dismissal, but also to their previous lives and professional careers, which had a lot of influence on the accusations against them. Space is also given to the period after their arrest, conviction and later rehabilitation. The study also provides comparison with the Czech environment.

The paper is focused on the Communist Party of Slovakia, power and political relations between communist functionaries in the 1950s. During the 9th Congress of the Slovak Communist party in 1950 the so-called bourgeois nationalists, previously influential high communist functionaries like Gustáv Husák, Ladislav Novomeský or Karol Šmidke, were finally eliminated and criticized. After elimination of these members of the Slovak communist elite the position of the Chairman of the Communist Party of Slovakia, Viliam Široký, was strengthened. He was the most powerful politician in the party at that time. However, this situation was changed by the development during the next three years, which were characterized by ongoing political downfalls and arrests of many communist functionaries, some of them Široký’s close co-workers. After the death of Josif Vissarionovič Stalin and Klement Gottwald in 1953 the position of V. Široký weakened and functionaries oriented towards the First secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia Antonín Novotný prevailed on the political scene.
