Summary/Abstract: During preparations for the 14th congress of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ) measures were taking against “long hairs”. Until the 1970s the State Security (StB) had been primarily focused on “right-wing opportunists” (communists expelled from the party after August 1968). However, the “sudden” emergence of an underground community of “long hairs” had been an unpleasant surprise for StB officers.
