Třídní Češi nemocní dějinami uprostřed informační války. Historické dezinfonarativy v českém veřejném prostoru, jejich kontexty a souvislosti

The study focuses on disinformation narratives in the Czech public space that misinterpret history. Manipulative interpretations of history are placed in the context of the contemporary information war. Some Czech politicians and publicists misuse interpretations of earlier and more modern history in an effort to fragment public opinion. The study analyzes specific examples of disinformation narratives that draw on distorted perceptions that Czech society has about its own past. These misinterpretations have often been present in Czech public discourse since the national revival in the 19th century. The study gives examples of conspiracy theories about topics from older and newer Czech history. The study also discusses the aversion of part of Czech society to its own elites and the exploitation of this aversion in the information war. The study also deals with manipulations that exploit personalities and events from Czech history for political purposes.
