The study is chronological and in its content tight to the author’s work from the Vojenská história n. 9 in 1999 Public militia in Slovakia- their establishment, and organizational development until the second half of the 60’s. The work stems from the efforts of the Communist Party leaders of Czechoslovakia in its legislative amendment of its existence and activities of Public Militias in the second half of the 60’s. He states that after January 1968 the Public Militias became a decisive aspect and participant in the political and social life. From its primary support of the new Communist management and its reformative policy it came through to the positions of conservative power. The Intervention of the 5 states from the Warsaw Agreement in the August of 1968 was considered by most of the participants (from Militia) an act of the international support thus Militia was actively participating on the process of „normalization“. The units of Public Militia were assigned against the protest of anti-Soviet demonstrations at the end of 1968 and the spring of 1969. The state authorities counted with their potential power of the repression against „anti-socialist” powers until the fall of the Communist regime.
