	Free Republic of Schwarzenberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Free Republic of Schwarzenberg (German: Freie Republik Schwarzenberg) was a de facto independent entity that existed for several weeks after the German capitulation on May 8, 1945.
		After the surrender of Germany, the districts of Schwarzenberg, Stollberg and Aue, in the Ore Mountains, were left unoccupied, for reasons that are unclear.
		The "government" of the Free Republic of Schwarzenberg—an anti-fascist action group formed on May 9—ruled over 21 towns and villages.

	Action Vault - Schwarzenberg Interview
		As children, growing up in the town of Schwarzenberg in East Germany, we secretly explored the old abandoned mines and the remaining gigantic ore mining dumps that the area around Schwarzenberg is full of.
		Mysteriously, the area around Schwarzenberg was not occupied, neither by the Soviet Army that stood in the east nor the US Army that stopped to the west and north.
		High-ranking Nazis hid in the area, and were driven away by a rebellion of anti-Fascists who formed a committee to self-govern the area later known as the Free Republic of Schwarzenberg.

		Schwarzenberg is situated at an altitude of 426 m at the confluence of the rivers Schwarzwasser and Große Mittweida in the district Aue-Schwarzenberg in the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) region of Saxony.
		Schwarzenberg was situated at the 'silver road', which connected the traditional mining towns Schneeberg, Schwarzenberg, Annaberg-Buchholz, Wolkenstein, Marienberg, Lengefeld, Brand-Erbisdorf and Freiberg, and connected them to Zwickau and Dresden.
		The modern development was further boosted by the opening of the railroad in 1858 from Zwickau to Schwarzenberg.

		They will acknowledge that there is a conservative freedom; they will acknowledge that there may exist in a republic not only greater order, but that there may even be a more genuine order in the government of all for the.sake of all, than in the government of the few for the sake of the few.
		The treaties of 1815 have no longer any lawful existence in the eyes of the French republic; nevertheless, the territorial limits circumscribed by those treaties are facts which the republic admits as a basis, and as a starting-point, in her relations with foreign nations.

		The condition of forest stands and forest soils mainly in border mountain areas of the Czech Republic heavily deteriorated during the period of massive air pollution lasting for several decades from the beginning of the second half of the 20th century.
		Mainly free landscape (out of urban and suburban areas) is protected and the landscape protection is marginal in areas with dynamic landscape evolution, where the original character has been destructed in such a manner, that the re-cultivation is nearly impossible.
		No one representative of both the state or non-state forest owners and managers was invited for expert consultations throughout the entire time that the bill was being drawn up until it was submitted to the Czech government and it was submitted for discussion in Parliament at the end of 2002.

	Lustration and the Legacy of Communism
		In fact, in the nineteen-fifties, in republics like Czechoslovakia, the situation was very similar, in terms of scale of violence, to what it was in Latin America in the seventies.
		In the Czech Republic, the situation is not as extreme, but there are still risks of politicization.
		In the Czech Republic last year, there was a sense that now we have to pass a lustrace law that applies to private business, because you have old communists buying up all the privatized businesses, and that's unfair.

		Western investors were keen to muscle in on what was obviously an area ripe for expansion, and by 1996 over half the Czech Republic's papers had non-Czech owners, mainly from German-speaking countries.
		Successive Czech governments, anxious not to be seen as placing any obstacles in the way of the country's path to EU membership, have defended foreign newspaper ownership as a manifestation of the principle of the free movement of capital.
		A generation change has occurred since then, but it is still regarded as the Czech Republic's leading independent political weekly, and claims to be an influential opinion-former.

	German American Corner: Unity and Justice and Freedom: The Revolution of 1848
		Long before the post-World War II division of Europe and long before "silent revolutions" in Eastern Europe ended that division, there was another time when Germans took to the streets to demand freedom and unity and for a few months seemed to achieve their goal.
		Prince Schwarzenberg's action was the beginning of the end for the fledgling German state.
		It was supposed to overcome feudal political structures, end German particularism and lead Germany to national unity, develop a free constitution focusing on basic rights for all, establish a parlimentary system and solve massive social problems, all at once.

		Blum's execution was a political act, because with it Schwarzenberg desired to strike the exponent of the revolutionary principle.

	Scoop: Czech Republic Gets Heavy Handed Against Cuba
		• The Czech Republic today is the Mother Church for neo-con and radical right-wingers, who specialize in financing ultra-conservative NGOs, including suspect Cuban exile groups, several of which have in the past been connected to terrorist activities, as Prague works to terminate Castro’s rule.
		Similarly, the Czech foreign ministry and its delegation to the European Union have become major vehicles – to Washington’s lusty applause – to counteract efforts by many U.S. Congressman, enlightened EU officials and private research bodies to work for a constructive engagement with Havana in order to re-incorporate Cuba into mainstream hemispheric relations.
		This is because they refuse to have liaison with Cason or to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in laundered funds and resources from venomously anti-Castro sources in the Czech Republic or Washington – backdoor funds that over the years have come from USAID or from grantees of the NED.
