		The earliest records of Slavic inhabitants in present-day Czechoslovakia date from the fifth century A.D. The ancestors of the Czechs settled in present-day Bohemia and Moravia, and those of the Slovaks settled in present-day Slovakia.
		The peaceful life of the Slavic tribes was shattered in the sixth century by the invasion of the Avars, a people of undetermined origin and language who established a loosely connected empire between the Labe (Elbe) and Dnieper rivers.
		Its importance to Czechoslovak history is that it united in a single state the ancestors of the Czechs and Slovaks.

	GreenCine \| Czech and Slovak Cinema
		The Czech New Wave is usually defined as by a relatively small group of directors, including Miloš Forman, Jirí Menzel, Vera Chytilová, Jaromír Jireš and Ivan Passer, who made their debuts in or around 1963 and continued to produce internationally acclaimed work through most of the rest of the decade.
		In fact, there was some animosity between the two waves, and Jean-Luc Godard was particularly scathing, describing Czech cinema of the time as being "bourgeois." What the waves of both countries shared in common was an interest in a natural, less studio-bound cinema that focused on real people and captured their concerns.
		Throughout his Czech career, he worked with two important collaborators on his screenplays, Ivan Passer and Jaroslav Papoušek, both of whom would become directors in their own right (although only Passer would have international success).

		And these are but four names among scores of famous composers and instrumentalists of Czechoslovak origin, who, in foreign lands fructified the musical art of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
		And today, through the reclaiming of these musicians' true nationality and heritage by the current Czech generation, the plane of excellence upon which the Czech musician lies is elevated to an even higher degree.
