The article attempts to study whether the Chinese Empire at the time of the Sui Dynasty could be considered an early totalitarian state or not. The analysis, based on historical data, proceeds from a scheme of an early totalitarian state devised by the author and reveals that the Sui state does have the characteristics of an early totalitarian state with regard to historical-political reasons and foreign policy related factors, and, to a great extent, in administration and economy, whereas the relevant characteristics are indirectly or very slightly explicit in the field of social life. The features of early totalitarianism, within the governance method of the Sui state, are generally not evident with regard to legal order and ideology. In conclusion, it is highly probable that the Sui Empire corresponds to an early totalitarian governing system, bearing in mind the external characteristics of state power, not the internal ones. This is a relevant and fundamental difference between the Chinese Qin Empire (221-207 bc), as a purely early totalitarian state, and the Sui Empire as an emerging early totalitarian state. Thus, the Sui Empire was probably becoming an early totalitarian state, however, this process was discontinued due to the perishing of the dynasty.

In spite of the fact that the scientific study of the achievements of the historical development of China over more than 5000 years of the development of a culture entirely different from that of the West, began only 50 years ago in Slovakia, it has achieved various very original results, thanks to which some of its representatives are regarded as leading personalities in world Sinology, and it can be considered the most important Orientalist discipline in Slovakia. This study endeavours to map in detail everything noteworthy that arose in the course of half a century of Slovak Sinology, and the achievements of its representatives, not only at home, but also abroad and especially in China.

The aim of this study is to analyse the lives and works of 22 Czech and Slovak Sinologists around Professor Jaroslav Prusek, the members of the Prague School of Sinology from the 1950s to the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the armies of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact in 1968, and partly also later. The Prague School of Sinology became admired by many in the West owing to its achievements in the realms mainly of modern and traditional Chinese literature, linguistics and partly of history and philosophy, but up to now these were not satisfactorily analysed in the scholarly literature. It shows the 'reality and myth' around this extraordinary phenomenon in the history of European Sinology.
