The book provides a detailed insight into the historical continuity between the old and new regimes by presenting the results of an extensive quantitative survey of the historical consciousness of the memorials. Against the backdrop of a combination of historiographical-political perspectives and sociological interpretations of the establishment, genesis, and gradual erosion of the communist regime, the author shows through which social contexts memorials construct or can construct an image of the past era. In doing so, it focuses not only on the systemic nature of the "normalization" period but also on everyday life in the Husák era. At the same time, it highlights the problems of democratic transformation and further post-1989 development.
