The second part of the study builds on the previous first part by focusing on the period of the second half of the 1970s. During this period, the “Průsek” Residency, which was a mixed residency type, started operating in the area of interest. The paper analyses the early days of its activities, which were marked by problems in recruitment and information outreach. It highlights the difficulties in building an agency network and penetrating the identified main and auxiliary objects of interest.
