Lightning under Tatras (2024)

Lightning under Tatras (2024) poster

Protagonists and new context of the insurrectionary drama in the critical interpretation of contemporary Slovak and Czech historians. In postwar Czechoslovakia, the image of the Slovak National Uprising (SNP) was subordinated to the ideological needs of the Communist Party and the objective interpretation only allowed the free conditions after 1989. While in the Czech countries this event disappears from general awareness, for Slovaks, it remains a key aspect of modern history. The current interpretation describes the insurrection not only as a Slovak struggle with fascism and German Nazism, but also as a duel about the form of the next Czech-Slovak relations.
