Description The first Czechoslovak president, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, represents, perhaps somewhat paradoxically, an example of how a “cult of personality” can be fostered in a democratic environment. The efforts to erect a monument in Prague in front of the presidential residence at Prague Castle, and in Brno on Moravian square in front of Deutsches Haus, both 1937, were case studies for this paper.
