The paper discusses five plays, written between 1945 and 1948, which deal with a historical event - with the Slovak National Uprising of 1944. These are: 'Nepokoreni...' (Not Subjugated...), staged in 1945 by Rudolf Latecka-Repicky, 'Basnik a smrt' (Poet and Death), staged in 1946 by Ivan Stodola, 'Styri strany sveta' (Four Sides of the World), staged in 1948 by Leopold Lahola, 'Basta' (Stronghold), staged in 1948 by Peter Karvas, and 'Za frontom' (Behind the Front Line), staged in 1948 by Viera Markovicova-Zaturecka. The Slovak National Uprising provided playwright with a dramatic and potentially tragic situation. It enabled them to incorporate the documentary and authentic elements into their plays. On the other hand, the importance of this historical event caused that drama often shifted towards a 'chronicle', 'apotheosis', or a 'commemorative evening'. The interpretation of events depended on the author's perceptions. For Stodola, the Uprising was the culmination of the nationalist struggle, whereas for Karvas, it was an integral part of the international history. Latecka emphasized its mass character, whereas Lahola focused on each person's emotions when approaching death. The Uprising was a suitable moment to create a perception of 'two worlds' ('ours' and 'theirs'). It was also one of the last occasions to reconsider seriously the value of life and death - before the Slovak drama got completely infected by the Communist enthusiasm.

The study deals with forms of the Slovak Republic (1939 - 1945) in Slovak theatre after the year 2000. We currently observe a strong dramaturgical tendency to bring to the stages the reflection of historical events from various historical periods, one of the most depicted being the period of World War II. Its themes are found in the productions of the original theatrical plays as well as in the dramatisation of literary works. The first part of the study is devoted to delineation of the Slovak Republic (1939 - 1945) in the productions after 2000 (Tiso [Tiso], Stalo sa prvého septembra [It Happened on 1st September], Rabínka [The Female Rabbi], Holokaust [Holocaust], Povstanie [Uprising], Obchod na korze [The Shop on the Parade], Polnočná omša [Midnight Mass], Tichý bič [The Silent Whip], Kým kohút nezaspieva [Until the Cock Sings]). The second part is focused on the analysis of the selected thematic elements offered by the productions falling within this circle and which appear in the new optics of the so-called second generation.

75 years ago, on 29 August 1944, the Slovak National Council and its military headquarters got out of illegality and declared the Slovak National Uprising – an armed fight against the German Fascist occupying forces and domestic traitors for freedom, democracy and renewal of the Czechoslovak Republic based on the new principles of equality and therefore equal position of the Slovak and Czech nation. The study contains an analysis and evaluation of the decisive documents and events, which had immediate effect on the constitutional aspects of the Slovak National Uprising as well as meaning in terms of political power, military and moral meaning. In addition to the above, the study points out to the origin of the Slovak national statehood, which started forming in the SNU already, continuing within the renewed Czechoslovak Republic, which was supposed to be gradually rebuilt into a federal state following the liberation by the Soviet Army. The study particularly highlights the military and international meaning of the SNU, which consisted in the fact that the Slovak nation, through its armed fight in the Uprising, was tying the Wehrmacht military forces, which the German Fascist were then missing on other European battlefields. Through its Uprising, Slovakia joined the global anti-Fascist coalition of countries as well as the states winning over the Fascist Germany in the World War 2.

The study focuses on dramatic texts inspired by the Slovak National Uprising which were written in 1945 – 1949, i.e. at the time when the theme of the Uprising was not subject to a politically motivated interpretation. The author briefly introduces individual titles (altogether six dramas), but she focuses primarily on the interpretation and analysis of plays by three authors: Ivan Stodola – Básnik a Smrť (The Poet and Death, 1946), Leopold Lahola - Štyri strany sveta (The Four Sides of the World, 1947), Peter Karvaš – Bašta (The Bastion, 1948). She points to the problematic aspects of these plays, as well as to some features which distinguish them from plays by other playwrights writing about the Slovak National Uprising in this period (Rudolf Latečka-Repický, Ján Skalka, Viera Markovičová-Záturecká) and which can be in a sense considered interesting or original. The study also addresses the rise of “the period iconography of the Uprising”, i.e. a set of certain recurrent themes, motifs and methods which occur in works of art depicting the Slovak National Uprising from the period of 1945 – 1949, including film, visual arts and drama.

The material provides information about the activity of the Commissary of the 2nd Defence Area and later after reorganisation of the 1st CS Army in Slovakia, about the activity of the 6th Tactical Group during SNU, led by the superintendent cent. Int. Ernest Czayka, graduate of the Military College in Bratislava, department “B” (Commissary). The report in question was prepared by Major Int. Ernest Czayka after the end of World War 2, in January 1948, at the time performing the function of commissary of the 10th Division in Košice. The report was prepared based on the instruction of the rear commander of the 4th area, Gen. Int. Vojtech Danielovič. The report was intended as a part of the summary complex overview of the combat activity of the 1st CS Army in Slovakia during the Slovak National Uprising. It was supposed to provide detailed information about the army activity in the field of commissary provision of the troops from the beginning of SNU, when it was divided to the 1st and 2nd defence area, after reorganisation transformed to six (ground) tactical groups and an air group. The summary work about the army activity in SNU was to contain the overviews of activities of the individual services, including the commissary of the 6th tactical group.

The study analyses the conceptual content of the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the 1944 Uprising in Slovakia, an event that the Czechoslovak communists appropriated and used as one of the ways of legitimizing their power. The celebrations of the Uprising in 1964 retained their socialist – revolutionary character, reshaped into the allegedly “constructive” message of the Uprising. However, thanks to the rehabilitation of the victims of the trials of “bourgeois nationalists”, the national aspect of the events was beginning to shine through. It is possible to say that at the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the Uprising in 1964, the socialist – revolutionary and national elements merged, which only confirms the reality that the communists connected with older cultural traditions and could not suppress modern national consciousness in a more cultured state.

Activity of the Orava Military Group during the Slovak National Uprising in September 1944 and the transfer of its remains in early October 1944 is one of the interesting chapters of the resistance against Germans. Transfer to the rebel territory was associated with the German occupation of the municipality of Párnica on the 1st October 1944, when the group commander, General Staff Major Dušan Jamriška concluded that the time had come to leave Lučivná u Párnice. The transfer to the rebel territory was taking place in several groups, lasting for about three days. Upon arriving at the rebel territory, both the officers and soldiers of the Orava Military Group engaged in the combat activity within the rebel army.

Div. gen. Rudolf Viest belonged to the central personalities of SNU. In spite of that, his mission and activity as the commander of the insurgent army were not processed comprehensively to this day. There are still many questions about his appointment into this function as well as his arrival to the insurgent territory. Until this day, the question why was his arrival delayed until the 7th October 1944 provokes speculations. This is in spite of the fact that the insurgent command urged him basically since the beginning of September. The military historians did not even deal sufficiently with the systematic denigration of Vies’ position by the pre-1989 Marxist historiography. In his contribution, the author tried to sum up the knowledge about the issue in question and explain all the relevant causes and context of the appointment of gen. Viest the commander of the insurgent army as well as the questions related to the delay of his arrival to the insurgent territory.
