Europe-Asia Studies, 2021, vol. 73, issue 10, 1771-1796

Abstract: The article deals with the intersecting topics of liberty, democracy, and contentious politics in Czechia in the 1990s. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, Czechoslovakian citizens could once again freely enter the public space and articulate their demands. But what if contentious claim-making acquires intolerant or even violent forms? The author chooses a specific case of skinhead violence and engages with the question of how the borderline between tolerated and forbidden acts was negotiated and reshaped during the democratic transition and subsequent consolidation in Czechia in the 1990s.
