Czechoslovak-Soviet economic cooperation in the years 1948-1953 is hitherto a rather marginalized facet of contemporary historiography. The limited secondary literature on this topic, especially from Czechoslovak economists and historians, published both during the communist regime and after the Velvet Revolution, is characterized by a rather strong pro/anti-communist bias limiting its objective insight into the various technical aspects of intra-bloc cooperation. The major aim of this study is therefore to use the newly accessible fonds of the Czech National Archives at Chodov and the Archives of the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Czernin Palace to construct a more holistic portrayal of Czechoslovak cooperation with the Soviet Union, its largest trading partner. The hypothesis is that although under the influence of the authoritarian regimes of Stalin and Gottwald, trade relations between the two countries were rather politicized at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s, they were nevertheless to some extent guided by the practical needs of the national economies. It was the clash between political and economic reasoning and the quest of the communist leadership of both states to achieve their mutual equilibrium that was characteristic of the Gottwald era. The present work also seeks to highlight the crucial role of the Third Republic (1945-1948) in the economic integration of Czechoslovakia into the Eastern Bloc. Specific space is then devoted to the negotiation processes of individual trade agreements, their content and their impact on the development of the Czechoslovak economy.

Focus of the present study is the Sokol gathering parade in 1948, which became a massive demonstration of disagreement with the on-setting Communist regime in Czechoslovakia. Originally meant to be a unity ritual celebrating renewal after the end of WWII, the gathering soon turned into the conflict ritual between democratic and totalitarian part of the Czechoslovak society. The aim of the study, exploring the Sokol gathering on the grounds of cultural performance theory, is to present the parade as a theatrical public event which had particular distinctive features, such as changeability in time, dialogic nature, etc. The author is especially concerned with the ways in which the schedule of the event was being alternated based on the changing socio-political situation; with the means of protesting against the Communist procedure in the parade; and the dialogic nature of the slogans chanted by the participants.
