Item Description

The people's militia of Czechoslovakia were armed civilians, usually with communist leanings, whose purpose it was to protect businesses, factories and industrial sites from the enemies of the state. They were hand picked by the communist party and issued with weapons and any tools that could assist them in their duties.

In reality the enemies of the state were the rightful owners of the businesses, whose capitalist ways were not compatible with the 1948 communist takeover of the country.

Militiamen were posted outside factories in order to protect them until the smooth transistion to state ownership was ensured and later they were used as police assistants and communist puppets.

The militias were dissolved in 1989 after the fall of communism.
