Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the Worker´s Party (DS), the most important representative of the extreme right party family in the Czech Republic at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. The DS was banned in 2010 as a first political party in the Czech Republic after 1989 from ideological reasons. The article analyses its development, ideology, electoral results and electorate, structure, foreign relations and general position within the Czech party system. Authors come to conclusion that the DS was dominantly the neo-Nazi party, at least in the final era of its existence.
