„Rudolfe, hlavu vzhůru...“ Osudný 15. březen 1939 a premiér Rudolf Beran
“Rudolf, cheer up…” the fateful 15 march 1939 and prime minister Rudolf Beran

Summary/Abstract: Whoever is in power is responsible for it. Rudolf Beran was in power in the top political position during the Second Republic period and he is what European history knows as the ‘tragic figure’. A recognized politician, he was basically in a wrong place at a wrong time; he was forced to negotiate and cooperate with the occupation forces, which earned him the reputation of a traitor who is to blame for all the misfortune that affl icted Bohemia and Moravia. Jaroslav Rokoský, the author of an in-the-works extensive biography on Beran, tries to break this typical image of his. This study focuses on the drama before and during the occupation.
