Summary/Abstract: This study analyses the origin of the idea to organize the anti-Communist resistance through the so called White Legion. It compares the goals of the founders of the White Legion Transmitter with the actual achievements of the resistance movement in practice. This analysis is backed against documentary evidence related to the suppression of the White Legion in Slovakia by the State Security forces. The study also attempts to assess the role of these forces in the process of establishing and planting the White Legion in Slovakia.
