| Description | The author of the present study deals – at the background of general questions of traditional and modernized myths – with he problem of mythization and demythization of the personalities of both father and son T. G. Masaryk and Jan Masaryk analysing in two new Czech books: one verifies a hypothesis that T. G. Masaryk’s father was an Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I; the other narrates about new evidence concerning the death of his son Jan, minister of foreign affairs of Czechoslovakia in 1948. Both books demonstrate not only the process of mythization and demythization of the key-personalities of Czech and Czechoslovak history, but also a strange functioning of political regimes. |
