| Description | The main aim of this article is to describe attitudes of SPR-RSČ towards the dissolution process of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic. The author focuses mainly on the "last federative" year 1992. In his work, he follows the mainstream negotiations about the way of splitting the federation, while studying the rhetoric of the SPR-RSČ representatives. Although SPR-RSČ did not have the possibility to influence the dissolution process (not even the negotiations), it seeked to present an (interesting) alternative (enlargement or preservation of the federation). Later, when it was obvious that there was no way to save the common Czechoslovak state, it started looking for (factual) offenders of this state. The SPR-RSČ tried to obstruct the proceedings of the federative parliament (by submitting repeatedly the same requirements and speeches), it blamed the government, their voters etc. but it lacked the power to stop (or slow down) the actual act of dissolution. |
