The paper examines the ways in which the heritage of the Czech anti-Austrian resistance was used in the political practice of the First Czechoslovak Republic between 1918 and 1925. It focuses on the question of what specific aspects from the history of the anti-Austrian resistance during the First World War were used by individual political actors in their public activity and in the rivalry between political parties. These tendencies in the early period of the existence of the Czechoslovak Republic are examined with regard to the formation and establishment of the “Maffie” narrative, which after 1918 was supposed to symbolise and efficiently present the activities of the anti-Austrian resistance in the Czech lands. On the examples of the political campaigning of the Czechoslovak National Democratic Party led by Karel Kramář and the Czech National Socialist Party headed by Václav Klofáč, the authors analyse their different approach and often contradictory interpretation of the events of the “national revolution” of 1914-1918. The paper also presents the limitations of this presentation, as well as the gradual decrease of the instrumentalisation of the heritage of the Czech anti-Austrian resistance in the Czechoslovak political practice, which became fully evident as soon as the mid-1920s.

Almost all contemporaries were taken unawares by the First World War, including members of the Czech Constitutional Progressive Party which had been expecting a war for a number of years and had linked it to a deciding moment in the history of the struggle for Czech national liberation. And yet suddenly from one day to the next they found themselves face to face with the new war situation, manifesting itself as a de facto military and police dictatorship and previously unknown censorship. In the spirit of its political traditions, the party was involved in organising domestic and international resistance and was a principal adversary to ‘Pro-Austrian’ activism. In February 1918, it merged with other Czech civic parties striving for an independent Czech state to form the Czech Constitutional Democratic Party. Constitutional Progressive politicians and journalists played a key part in the final, but decisive, phase of the national liberation struggle – both within the new party and independently. Amidst the general euphoria of the first few weeks after the revolution, it appeared that the mission of the Constitutional Progressive Party had come to a definitive close, but the party’s ideas left an inheritance which was still to be updated in subsequent years in the struggle for the form and nature of the Republic.

The study follows the lives of top state administrative representatives in Moravia who were affected by the fall of the Habsburg monarchy and the formation of Czechoslovakia. The new state adopted the state administration and administrative workers of the Habsburg monarchy. The rate of continuity of the administrative staff was relatively high; however, the demise of the monarchy still influenced the lives of many employees in the state administration. German nationals were hit hardest, and were often forced to cede important positions to new Czech office holders. The replacement of the last Moravian governor Karl Heinold by Jan Černý is one example - the tale of the dusk of one top official and the dawn of another.
