Significant proportion of the British Union of fascists’ (BUF) members were convinced that the existential threats to the nation and civilisation are hard facts and adopting fascism as the form of government was an absolute necessity for the survival of the British nation. This faith and devotion to the cause expressed itself in the enthusiasm for the cause, readiness for self-sacrifice and very active propagating of the ideas. Troubled by the lack of finance and resources, BUF members came with a variety of propaganda techniques, which demonstrate their commitment to and enthusiasm for fascism. Some ideas were very creative, some we could consider desperate. This article focuses on the BUF’s propaganda machinery and is describing some of the not very common propaganda techniques that BUF used.

Významná část členů Britské unie fašistů (BUF) byla přesvědčena, že existenční hrozby pro národ a celou západní civilizaci jsou tvrdá fakta a že nastolení fašismu jako formy vlády bylo absolutní nevyhnutelností, aby britský národ přežil. Jejich přesvědčení a oddanost těmto myšlenkám se projevila v entuziasmu, připravenosti obětovat se pro prospěch hnutí a velice aktivní propagaci myšlenek fašismu. Hnutí však po celou dobu své existence zápasilo s finančními problémy, a tak byli jeho členové nuceni přijít s různými, často velice inovativními propagandistickými technikami. I to demonstruje jejich entuziasmus a odhodlání. Některé z těchto nápadů a technik byly velice kreativní, jiné naopak zoufalé. Tato studie se zaměřuje na propagandistickou mašinerii BUF a popisuje různé, ne zcela běžné formy propagandistických technik, jaké hnutí používalo.

The Prague Spring and its quashing by Soviet tanks was not only an important event in Czech and Slovak national history, it also had a wider, global reach. The events themselves and subsequent occupation of Czechoslovakia by the combined forces of the Warsaw Pact have not ceased to inspire historical research and public debate. The aim of this essay is not to provide a complete list of works concerning the Prague Spring and the occupation of 1968; the sheer volume of literature on the subject is now overwhelming. Instead, the essay focuses on the most significant works and seeks to capture and analyse the main trends in the research into and writing about this event. It focuses on Western historiography – especially works written in English – as that contribution to the scholarship is the most numerous and, arguably, the most influential. It also pays brief attention to the work of German, Italian and French historians.
