    Distrust as a Perception, Resistance as a Response: the Introduction of Communist Politics in the East Bohemian Rural Area

  • Original language description

    In his chapter author considers a perception and an acceptance of communist politics in the Czech rural areas. For the Czechoslovakian countryside the communist regime established in February 1948 was embodied primarily by an obligation to meet high delivery quotas and (after the launch of collectivisation in February 1949) also by pressure on the establishment of unified agricultural cooperatives, collective farms on the Soviet model. In such condition a number of villagers decided to resist this pressure and protect their land, property and traditions. Methods and ways they had used were very varied. The author monitors the process of collectivization and the resistance it provoked in Eastern Bohemia, in the former district of Nový Bydžov. In the spring of 1949, soon after launching the collectivization, some local villagers started to intimidate the most active local communist exponents. While 9th annual congress of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia was taking place in Prague, they set up the gibbet with the names of local Bolsheviks in the neighbouring village. Later they immobilized the car of district communist speaker. Also a large amount of anti-collectivization and anticommunist leaflets were appearing in the whole surroundings. The communist transformation of the rural world provoked various forms of resistance. The author shows how the communist policy was perceived by the villagers, which way the centrally directed agricultural policy was shown into their living and how spontaneous and multifarious the forms of resistance against it were.
