[Abstract] <\/strong>Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia is the direct successor to the Komunistick\u00e1 Strana \u010ceskoslovensko. Founded shortly after the political upheavals of 1989, it is one of the few parties in Central and Eastern Europe to retain the name of the Communist Party and to adhere to Marxism-Leninism. Since its founding, it has maintained the status as a parliamentary party, successfully entering the European Parliament and participating in local public administration after repeatedly breaking through political isolation. In 2018, it even indirectly became part of the state power by supporting the minority government. Its electoral victory is unique among communist and workers\u2019 parties in the CEE region and rare among communist and workers\u2019 parties in the world today. Despite its success, it faces three serious challenges: a declining and aging membership; a massive loss of voters; and possible changes in the leadership and direction of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Komunistick\u00e1 Strana \u010ceskoslovensko (Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, hereinafter referred to as \u201cKS\u010c\u201d) celebrated its 100th<\/sup> anniversary on May 16, 2021. In 1946, the KS\u010c won the first free elections in the country since the end of the Second World War. In July 1960, the constitution adopted in Czechoslovakia proclaimed the victory of socialism and established the leadership of the Communist Party in the country. In November 1989, the political upheavals in Czechoslovakia led to the collapse of the communist regime and a serious setback to socialism. Founded in 1990 as a direct successor to the KS\u010c, the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (hereinafter referred to as \u201cKS\u010cM\u201d) is one of the few parties in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) to retain the name of Communist Party and to adhere to Marxism-Leninism. In the early 1990s, many Czechoslovak politicians and scholars predicted that the Communist Party would either withdraw from the political arena or become marginalized in a political environment of free competition among several parties. However, the historical development of the last 30 years has shown that the KS\u010cM not only has more members and primary organizations than other parties, but it has also maintained the status as a parliamentary party, successfully entering the European Parliament and participating in local public administration after repeatedly breaking through political isolation. In 2018, it even indirectly became part of the state power by supporting the minority government. In recent years, KS\u010cM\u2019s support has declined for a variety of reasons, but its influence on the country\u2019s domestic and foreign policies has increased significantly. Despite its success, it also faces a number of challenges that make its future uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
