Summary/Abstract: During World War II, Hlinka´s Slovak People's Party (HSPP) and the Communist Party were opponents, trying to politically eliminate each other as the most powerful enemy and rival. After taking over the power in Slovakia on 6 October 1938, the first steps of HSPP were to put the Communist Party and its organizations and associations under ban. After the Slovak National Uprising broke up, the Slovak National Council, which had incorporated representatives of the Communist Party, used its first resolution issued on 1 September 1945 for getting rid of HSPP and the regime it represented. After the 1945 liberation, activities of this political party and its mass organizations were not restored. The study analyses and clarifies the relationship between these rivals in 1939-1943, i.e. in the first period of Slovak Resistance movement and in the period of relative consolidation of the Slovak state´s regime.
