(Un)Official Activities of University Students. Czechoslovak Youth Union at Palacký University in Olomouc between the Years 1946–1956.

Original language description

The present study focuses on the unofficial activities of university students between 1948 and 1968 in the context of the development of the Czechoslovak Youth Union at Palacký University in Olomouc. The topic of university students in the second half of the twentieth century has been studied in detail in contemporary historical research, especially in connection with the years 1948, 1968 and 1989 as the turning points of the Czechoslovak history. However, the gap between these milestones offers the focus areas that have not been researched yet. In this paper, I focus on extracurricular activities of students of Palacký University under the patronage of the Czechoslovak Youth Union, which was closely linked to the politics and ideology of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. The Communists perceived the danger of uncontrolled spending of free time by university students, so they monitored their actions and eventually censored and restricted them. In the 1950s, students were offered activities supporting mainly socialist cohesion and Marxist-Leninist perception of the world, such as part time jobs, party trainings, competitions at faculty dormitories, thematic professional lectures, etc. Nevertheless, an active group of students gradually formed within the Czechoslovak Youth Union in Olomouc. This group promoted the gradual lifting of bans and supported a wider range of cultural activities that were closer to their real interests (student festivals, concerts, artistic and study interest groups, tourist events or trips to international internships). These activities culminated in the exposed years 1967 to 1968. The aim of this work is to compare the quality and quantity of activities of students from Olomouc, which was often referred to as the cultural periphery, with the activities of university students in other parts of Czechoslovakia.
