Článek se zabývá typem stranického školení v Československu, který se nazýval DKV (Dny komunistické výchovy). Tento program masové indoktrinace členů KSČ probíhal po převzetí moci komunisty v únoru 1948 od srpna 1948 do června 1949. Článek se obecněji soustředí na rekonstrukci každodenního života uvnitř místního stranického aparátu. Nejprve sleduje formální aspekty DKV. Členové strany během nich navštěvovali přednášky podle měsíčních témat, seznamovali se základními doktrínami marxismu-leninismu. Článek rekonstruuje průběh DKV v Brtnici (kraj Jihlava) a Břežanech (kraj Znojmo) a ukazuje, že požadavky ústředního vedení byly značně uzpůsobeny místním podmínkám a celá operace tak zdaleka nebyla natolik intenzivní, jak ústřední vedení plánovalo. Obě místní buňky, sledované v článku, dávaly často přednost jiným, naléhavějším aktivitám, před ideologickým vyzbrojováním svých členů. A i když se indoktrinace nakonec uskutečnila, nebylo jí tolik, kolik bylo vedením požadováno, a ani kvalitou ...

Prace kombinuje tematicke a chronologicke hledisko a jeji těžistě leži v rekonstrukcich vnitrostranických praktik na regionalni a lokalni urovni. Nejprve je analyzovan zakladni ramec vnitrostranicke kazně, který byl tvořen normami chovani a jednani clenů KSC kodifikovanými napřiklad v organizacnim řadu strany. Pote jsou rekonstruovany nepřipustne odchylky od těchto norem, zejmena nejcastějsi podoby pasivity straniků (absence na schůzich, neplaceni clenských přispěvků a problemy s clenskými legitimacemi) a jejich nepřipustne aktivity (osobni spory, nepřijatelne obohacovani se a tzv. diktatorske metody prace a připad Sling).

Th is article examines a form of Party training in Czechoslovakia called DKV (Dny komunistické výchovy-Communist Education Days). Th is programme of mass indoctrination of Czechoslovak Communist Party members after the Communist takeover in February 1948 ran from August 1948 and to June 1949. Th e article is more generally focused on the reconstruction of everyday life within the local Party networks. It fi rst considers the formal aspects of the DKV. Here, Party members attended lectures on a topic of the month, familiarizing themselves with the basic doctrines of Marxism-Leninism. Th e article reconstructs the running of the DKV in Brtnice (in the Jihlava region) and Břežany (in the Znojmo region), demonstrating that the demands of Party headquarters were considerably adapted to local circumstances and that the whole operation ended up being not quite as intensive as Party headquarters had planned. Th e two local organizations considered in the article often preferred other, more urgent activities, to the ideological equipping of its members. When indoctrination eventually did take place there was not as much of it as Party headquarters had planned, nor was it of the quality they had anticipated.

Vnitrostranicka disciplina byla v komunistických stranach pojimana jako jeden z klicových prostředků k ziskani a udrženi moci, a proto se kniha, zaměřena na dějiny KSC v prvnich pěti letech po Vitěznem unoru, soustředi na snahy efektivně regulovat chovani a jednani clenů KSC. Autor vychazi z rozsahleho korpusu malo využivaných archivnich materialů, přicemž nepise cernobilý přiběh vypravěný z jednoho ustředniho bodu, ale vyklada dějiny KSC zdola, když analyzuje podobu a funkce jazyka, normativnich textů, mechanismů i organů zkazňovani, dale rekonstruuje nejcastějsi připady selhavani straniků a popisuje možnosti jejich trestani. Takový navrat do let 1948–1952, do neklidne doby zasadnich celospolecenských změn obraz udajně suverenni KSC do urcite miry problematizuje. Ze zapisů schůzi, diskuzi nebo vysetřovani prohřesků proti kazni je skladan jakýsi mnohohlas, koktejl lenosti i pracovitosti, karierismu i oddanosti, arogance i poslusnosti, který chtělo a muselo mit vedeni strany pod kont...

The paper focuses on desítkoví důvěrníci, the lowest level CPC functionary in 1945–1952. What were the tasks from the central committee, how did desítkoví důvěrníci act, why system fail and was cancelled in 1952? This history of CPC from bellow could provide more diverse picture of the communist dictatorship. It is based on both central and local archives, but also on party press or brochures addressed directly to desítkoví důvěrníci.

The creation of an effective desítkový systém was one of the key CPC projects after 1945. Desítkoví důvěrníci should take care of 8 to 12 members / candidates, they should stay in touch with the members. They should record their attendance at meetings or membership fees. Meetings should take place in an informal spirit, so desítkoví důvěrníci had to penetrate into the minds of members, but through relatives into society. Desítkoví důvěrníci represented in some ways the most important functionary corps in the party, which was to make a significant contribution to the way to communist hegemony.

The project of the desítkový systém, however, worked relatively briefly, only six seven years after the end of the Second World War. Desítkoví důvěrníci worked effectively during the 1946 elections, and in the planned 1948 elections, the CPC planned also with their support  to gain the absolute majority of the nation. After coup d'état in February 1948, the role of desítkoví důvěrníci was transformed in part, although the core of tasks remained unchanged. They also had to take part in tests of members or their training, in short to participate of the making millions of members of CPC in new people. However, desítkový systém did not work well. It seems, therefore, that the influence of the desítkoví důvěrníci was limited, as a result of their own passivity and unengaged of the members of the dozens.

The main causes of the end of desítkový systém in late 1952 can be found in their dysfunction and in the fall of the high-ranking functionaries (Rudolf Slansky, Marie Svermová, Otto Sling and others) who promoted these system. It took place during the turbulent period of 1951 to 1953, which is characterized by abandoning the vision of a fundamental transformation of the society and the search for an inner party enemy.

My dissertation thesis deals with the intraparty discipline and internal disciplinary practices of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. It is based mainly on events in the Brno region and Znojmo district in the years 1948-1952. My work combines a thematic and chronological perspective on these topics and its focus lies in the reconstruction of the party's practices at the regional and local level. First, I analyse the framework of intraparty discipline and behavior standards codified in the party's organisation manual. I then explore deviations from these standards, particularly manifestations of passivity amongst the party members (absence in the meetings, non-payment of membership fees and problems with the member IDs) and prohibited behaviour (personal conflicts, unacceptable material self-enrichment and the so-called dictatorial methods of work, and the case of 'Šling'). The non-fulfilment of party duties may have resulted in disciplinary punishment, which is discussed in the last chapter of the first part of my paper. In the second part of my dissertation I first focus on the special intraparty bodies, the disciplinary commissions, which investigated the disciplinary cases. I look at their set-up, competencies and functions and how they transformed over time. In the final chapter, I look into party microstructures within the specific situation of the Znojmo district. I analyse the relationships between communists from Znojmo and their superiors from the region of Brno as well as the activities of the Znojmo district disciplinary commission. Also included is a reconstruction of the events surrounding the dysfunctional party cell based in Slup and a description of the disciplinary case of local party official Oldřich Čech from Dyje.

Wenn im April 1945 in dem Bezirk Žamberk 22 731 Einwohner der deutschen Nationalität  lebten, sie bildeten 44 % aller Einwohner des Bezirkes.Überwiegend in den Sommermonaten 1945 wurden 8538 Deutschen mutwillig über die Grenze der Tschechoslowakei vertrieben. Inzwischen erreichten die Sieggroßmächte in Postupim den Vertrag über die Assiedlung der Deutschen, der die Verbannung legalisierte. In den regulären Transporten von Mai bis September 1946 wurden 13 528 Personen der deutschen Nationalität aus dem Bezirk Žamberk verschoben. Die Anzahl der Deutschen  wurde noch zu 612 in August 1948 erniedrigt als es zu den nachtäglichen Verschiebungen ins Innland kam. Durch die Aussiedlung fast aller deutschen Einwohner des Bezirkes Žamberk wurde die ganze wirtschaftliche, politische, kulturelle und Populationstruktur der Bevölkerung verändert. Die deutschen Würzel der hiesigen Orte wurden zersört.
