During the fight against the Catholic Church at the end of the forties and beginning of the fifties the communists first applied the policy of 'Divide et impera!' They tried to divide the priests into two groups: 'the reactionists' and 'the progressives'. They victimized the former by arresting, withdrawing the so called state approval for their profession and by transferring them and they promoted the latter. At the end of the fifties and beginning of the sixties they focused themselves on a massive atheistic campaign and they pressured the population 'to deal with the religious issue'. In this phase of their fight against the Church they did not even trust 'the progressives' anymore who served the regime. The materials from the Regional archive in Cesky Krumlov represent an evidence for these events.
