Abstract

This text explores representation of Moravian interests which surfaced quite unexpectedly in Czech politics after the fall of the communist regime in November 1989. The text will first concentrate on the historical and territorial links between Bohemians and Moravians. The paper then briefly reviews the activities of the Moravian movement in 1968 to trace especially the post-November ’89 political manifestations of Moravism until the dissolution of Czechoslovakia at the end of 1992. The paper also analyzes key political structures of Moravism, especially the Movement for Self-Administrative Democracy – Society for Moravia and Silesia, their political successes and failures and interactions with Czech and Slovak political representatives especially in terms of territorial division of the state.
