A Survey of Post-World War II Works Concerning Social Historiography in Czechoslovakia

The survey shows the results of post-war historiography focused on social problems. Having overcome the dogmatic Marxism era, the historical science of the 1960s noted the expansion of objective and non-ideologized efforts to research social classes and strata including their standard of life. Features of that effort and important papers and works are mentioned herein. The text presented touches briefly a new wave of interest in knowing the so-called "state socialism" social face. At the end, the authors draw attention to new works on social history of the post-Communist time period.
