Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the analysis of answers from a questionnaire survey in which respondents expressed their perceived connotations and associations with selected personalities from Czech history. This probe provides insight into the historical awareness of the Czech population and reveals how these personalities are perceived in the collective memory of the nation. The results show not only the diversity of perceptions of individual historical figures but also reflect the broader cultural and social contexts that influence the interpretation of historical events and personalities. Analysis of these responses provides valuable insights into how history lives in the minds of the contemporary population and how it can be influenced not only by school but also by other influences.
