This book contributes to the discussion about the instrumental use
of history. It analyses two examples of public festivities related
to the events and legacy of the final stage of World War II. The
first of these commemoration events is the Liberation Festival in
Pilsen, a public event celebrating the liberation of Pilsen in
1945. The second event is the celebration of the Slovak National
Uprising anniversary, held annually in Banska Bystrica. The
analysis focuses on the manner in which public commemorations of
historical events are used and instrumentalised by contemporary
political elites. Prior to the political and social relevance of
the analysed events, the narratives they produce are transcending
into the cultural and commercial spheres.
