Procesy s údajnými přisluhovači Zelené internacionály
The trials of the alleged henchmen of the Green International

Summary/Abstract: Trials linked to the Green International (GI) belong to the category of large public show trials and are significant for a number of reasons. Along with the Babice case, they were the largest trials of opponents of collectivisation in Czechoslovakia. The trials of the “hench men” of the GI were a kind of right-wing version of the trial of Horáková and Co. and represented an attack on social groups excluded from public life from 1945: farmers, national democrats and committed Roman Catholics. Many important conservatively oriented writers were convicted in the trials of the GI, and the trials are occasionally wrongly identified with them exclusively. At the same time, they were without question an attack on non-socialist culture.
