Summary/Abstract: This study describes the story of the Anna student resistance group, which was active in Brno between 1949 and 1951. Jan Strejcius, Zdeněk Janík, Milan Obrovský and Jiří Linhart formed the core of the group, which focused on the production of anti-communist printed materials with the purpose of activating Czechoslovak citizens and breaking the information embargo imposed by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. In comparison with other Third Resistance student groups, it is clear that Anna was active for a longer than average period of time.
