I. Introduction  
Since the establishment of Czechoslovakia and the 
establishment and operation of the Czechoslovak legions exactly 100 
years has passed. The Czechoslovak legions are one of the most 
important parts of history. Without them Czechoslovakia would not 
exist in 1918. Legions were created in several countries during the 
First World War - in Russia, Italy and France. The Legion was 
practically in combat with the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The 
Slovak legions fought to free the territory of today's Slovakia and to 
create a new state together with the Czech nation. In the research of 
the legions, however, we have to divide the Czech Republic and 
Slovakia into two, as the legion ideals are still alive today, and the 
whole country knows the activities of the legions as well as countless 
monuments preserving their names. In contrast, people in today's 
Slovakia know only something about the legions, not to mention the 
legionary literature. This led me to start dealing with the legionary 
literature.  
At the start of the research, I knew only a few basic works 
and I found out more during my research in libraries and archives. I 
also divided the legionnaires into two groups. The first group included 
Jesenský Janko and Tajovský Jozef Gregor who were members of the 
classical Slovak literary canon before joining the legions. Members of 
the second group - Mikuláš Gacek, Mikolaj Jozef and Klempa Jozef - 
are almost unknown to today's average Slovak reader. During the 
research, I found very little literature of the Slovak legionary 
3 
 
literature. These sources were mainly studies and newspaper articles. 
It can almost be said that there is no such summary of work that would 
contain the entire Slovak literature in the region. The research had its 
antecedents, but it can be said that I had to face the lack of resources. 
The problem-orientation of the dissertation focused on how to create 
a complex work that would include the entire Slovak legionary 
literature.  
II. Methodology  
In the absence of resources, I felt that it was not enough to 
analyze the basics only, but also to describe the work of the individual 
authors during the war, as well as to describe the works that these 
authors wrote during the war, but which practically do not belong to 
the legionary literature. I also considered it necessary to study a 
legionary journal published in several parts of Russia, as these authors 
published several articles in these journals. So I did not write only an 
essay-based study, but I tried to summarize this complex area with 
different methodologies and approaches. The knowledge of the 
historical background was indispensable in the research as the 
literature of the legion is based on the authors' activities during the 
war and on the description of events around them. Therefore, the 
dissertation is also of a dual nature - literature science and historical 
research together. Thus, the dissertation is interdisciplinary. 
 
III. Findings  
4 
 
The dissertation is virtually a niche replacement work, as so 
far there has not been a single literary work in Slovakia that would 
provide a complex picture of the Slovak legionary literature. First, 
topics such as Slovak legions and Bolshevism, the Czechoslovak 
question in the Legionary literature, or the relationship of Slovak 
legionnaires to Russian culture were being processed.  
Several authors of the classical Slovak literary canon 
appeared in several monographs, so in their case I tried to reveal and 
detail some of the new aspects of their work during the First World 
War, for which there were fewer literary sources available. As far as 
the other authors are concerned, so far only a short biography has been 
published, so it is necessary to find out all the information about a 
particular person. During the research I discovered a lot of new 
information that I tried to add to the paper in details. There has not 
even been a monograph or study to discuss the views of the 
legionnaires on questions such as Bolshevism, White Guards or the 
Czechoslovak question.
