The study deals with how the message of St. Cyril and Methodius was evaluated after the Second World War. At this time (1945–1948), there was a great development of the ideals of Unionism and Pan-Slavism. It was a natural reaction to the end of the WWII and the liberation by the Soviet Red Army. And for all these reasons, great attention was also paid to the promotion of the cult of St. Cyril and Methodius. Through the promotion of these ideals, post-war cooperation with the Slavic nations and, last but not least, with the Soviet Union was to be advocated. Secondly, the Cyril Methodist idea was to have a significant impact on internal politics in the restoration of the common Czechoslovak state and war-torn Czech-Slovak relations. Last but not least, unionism was supposed to symbolize the Czechoslovak Catholicsʼ readiness for new post-war conditions.
