Slovenský národný a politický mýtus. Dlhá cesta dejinami
Slovak National and Political Myth. A Long Way Through History

Summary/Abstract: The study deals with the issue of the Slovak national and state myth. It examines the genesis of these myths and their formation in the different historical conditions throughout history. The Slovak national and state myth was influenced by the cultural and civilizational factors of the territory inhabited by the Slovaks, interaction with other nations, social and political conditions. The Slovak national and state myth was born and matured gradually from the 17th century onwards as an expression of the collective identity of the Slovaks as a nobility and later as a nation in the struggle for recognition of their own equality and equivalence in historical Hungary. It grew out of the conviction of the autochthony and originality of the Slovaks and their belonging to the great Slavic nation. It followed the original oral tradition dating back to the Great Moravian period.
