Svědectví o komunismu: Pět „mentalit“ pamětníků
Testimonies of Communism: Five "Mentalities" of Memorial Public

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to outline how the memorial section of the current society constructs the image of the communist era. It focuses on the attributes of collective memory, which indicate not only shared ideas about the past of the communist regime, but also an adequate value orientation in terms of contemporary political identity. The empirical basis of the text is represented by the findings of an extensive quantitative investigation of the "historical consciousness" of the memory generation. Within this framework, five specific types of memory related to the period before the Velvet Revolution are defined.
