The 1950 Census in Slovakia, the Hungarian minority and the historical context

Summary/Abstract: The study is devoted to questions of the census carried out in the Czechoslovak Republic in March 1950, especially in relation to the position of the Hungarian or Magyar minority and its development after 1918, with an emphasis on events after the end of the Second World War. The author offers a picture of the preparatory work, the actual census and its results in the context of the political and social situation in Czechoslovakia, characterized by the culmination of Stalinism and the so-called dictatorship of the proletariat. She documents the extent to which the official political line of the state or discriminatory measures can influence the declared ethnic identification of people.
