Summary/Abstract: The aim of this research paper is not to study the key topics constituting the main theme. Instead, the focus will be on the functioning of political extremes in the Czech lands and in Slovakia. Moreover, extremist ideologies imported from other countries (Ruthenia, Czech lands, Hungary) will not be discussed, either, despite the fact that Bolshevism and Fascism did exist as transnational phenomena. The fact that Communism played a greater role in Slovakia than in the Czech lands is important and must be taken into consideration when social conditions are being analyzed. The problem of Fascism in Slovakia appears to be even more interesting especially when the extent of its influence on the Slovak population is examined. It is highly satisfactory that the Slovak historiography has made great progress over the last few years to find answers to some of these difficult questions. Much of this advance is due to the fact that the Slovak historiography has succeeded in overcoming its former provincial level.
