Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the brutal collectivization of the Czechoslovak village, modeled on the Stalinist model. It was based on Polish documentary certificates taken from Polish archives mainly created by the diplomatic services of the communist state in 1945–1960/1961. The article shows the backstage of strenuous collectivization, which resulted in the destruction of thriving Czechoslovak farming. The consequence of the communist regime's activities was the installation in the Czechoslovak village of the Soviet culture of the soviet nation, the communist ethos.
