Summary/Abstract: After the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic aristocracy became one of the social classes that lost their political and economic influence. Behaviour of its members in the Slovak circumstances can be described by six model cases: escape and taking part in irredentism, fall between poor, social withdrawal, social openness and adaptation to the new regime, identification and service for the new regime and, finally, return after the initial escape. However, the idea of monarchism had a longer life then aristocracy itself. It was a alternative to the development of state for another 20 years.
