Summary/Abstract: The Department of History of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and History of the Workers’ Movement had existed at the Faculty of Arts in 1953–1970. It was supposed to focus mainly on teaching, in particular on educating the future staff of departments of Marxism-Leninism and historians who would focus on the history of the Communist Party. The department was, however, also highly active in research and its members participated in creating new historical narratives and interpretation schemes of Communist Party historiography. This study presents an analysis of the methodological foundations and historiographic production of this Charles University department.
