Summary/Abstract: The creation of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes followed a prolonged and arduous path, with the outcome unclear only months ahead of its February 1, 2008 launch. While inspiration for the creation of an independent body dedicated to examining the recent totalitarian past came from already operational institutes in neighboring Germany, Poland and Slovakia, differing perspectives about the need, remit and shape of such an institution abounded in the Czech Republic.
