The foundation of the Czechoslovak Republic a century ago was accompanied not only by patriotic fervour but also concerns about the future. Minorities, the Catholic Church, the aristocracy and many others were faced with decisions regarding to how to proceed. In the uncertainty with which they were treated by the fresh republic they themselves also had to consider how to respond to the new state.

Guests: František Kinský, descendant of the Kinský noble family, local politician, mayor and administrator of the family chateau, and Zdeněk Hazdra, historian and director of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes.

Chaired by Renata Kalenská.

This debate series marking the centenary of the foundation of Czechoslovakia has been prepared for the 2018–2019 season by the Václav Havel Library and the theatre Divadlo Husa na provázku. Debates will take place in parallel in Prague and Brno once a month.
