Abstract
ŠVEDOVÁ, Terézia. How did Public Against Violence Originate? Historický časopis, 2022, 70, 3, pp. 533–559, Bratislava.. The paper deals with the establishment and early development of the Public against Violence (Verejnosť proti násiliu) Movement, an entity that played an important role in the process of erosion of the totalitarian regime in November 1989 in Czechoslovakia; it focuses on the first month in the existence of the subject, namely from November to December 1989, which is particularly interesting considering its legal status and the question of its formation. The subject of the analysis is the nature and legal status of the subject, as well as its emerging internal organization. It is largely based on archive documents, contemporary legislation governing citizens‘ associations and, last but not least, historical literature, or legal history literature.
