Situation in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and in Slovakia in summer 1944

Based on various sources of information received by Soviet representatives of the NKID and stored in the Foreign Policy Archive of the Russian Federation, as well as published documents, the author attempts to reconstruct the situation that developed in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and also in Slovakia in summer of 1944, and to analyze the ideas of post-war structure of the Central Europe, that were discussed at the last stage of the war. The chronological choice is not accidental – this is the eve of a powerful national uprising on the territory of Slovakia (part of the former Czechoslovakia), the beginning of armed mass Resistance in the country. Based on the study of sources, it can be concluded that, despite different conditions, both in Protectorate and in Slovakia, by the end of summer of 1944, the Resistance Movement intensified and sympathy for the USSR and the Red Army grew. The ideas of the post-war structure of Europe at this time continued to be actively discussed in various political circles in the West and within the country.
