 Czechoslovakia - Republic and Lower Administrative Levels   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The administrative units of Czechoslovakia's two republics are, in each instance, a unicameral legislative body called the national council, an executive branch known as the government, and a judiciary consisting of a supreme court and an office of the prosecutor.
Like its corresponding federal government unit, the Federal Assembly, the national council is described as the highest organ of state power in the republic, whereas the government is the "supreme executive authority." The 1968 constitutional amendments that created the two republican or, "national," governmental units initiated a truly federal system of government, which flourished briefly.
For example, the premier of each republic is a deputy premier in the federal government, and the chairman of each national council is a member of the Presidium of the Federal Assembly.

But Czechoslovakia now found itself within the Soviet sphere of influence--a fact that had to be taken into account in any postwar reconstruction.
Thus the political and economic organization of postwar Czechoslovakia was largely the result of negotiations between Benes and KSC exiles in Moscow.

 EX-CZECHOSLOVAKIA [Free Republic]
Czechoslovakia was a cover for despotism of the Czechs over other nationalities in the area: specifically, over the Sudeten Germans, Poles in the Teschen area, Hungarians in Southern Slovakia, the "Carpatho-Ruthenians" in the eastern tail (actually western Ukrainians), and in particular, the Slovaks in the eastern part of the country, west of the Carpatho-Ruthenian tail.
The negotiations leading up to the Treaty of San Germaine en Laye wherein the Carpatho-Russians freely decided to join the new country of Czechoslovakia in exchange for a promise of autonomy (which to their discredit the Czechs reneged on) rather than joining another country (such as Romania, Hungary, or Poland) were not under duress.
A lot of this is explained by the fact that Czechoslovakia was democratic and stable at a time when many nations in the area weren't, but journalists in the West never gave Slovak grievances the kind of attention that they gave to minority groups in other countries.
