„Fízlrevue“. Jak hrál, tančil a zpíval Umělecký soubor ministerstva vnitra
“Fízlrevue” how the artistic ensemble of the ministry of the interior played, danced and sang

Summary/Abstract: None of the totalitarian regimes could overlook entertainment. The Czechoslovak communists concluded that the best way to humanise their repressive forces, as represented by the Ministry of the Interior, would be for them to have their own artistic ensemble. Consequently, the Artistic Ensemble of the Ministry of the Interior was established in the first half of 1950’s. It was generally known by its nickname Fízlrevue. Naturally, the performances of this ensemble had propaganda events at any opportunity afforded by an anniversary or comradely visit. The ensemble toured diligently. It had its own singing, acting, revue and dance sections. A number of premieres also contributed to the development of socialist culture (or at least tried to).
