(Educator, Politician and Historian Pavol Florek and His Polonophilic Tendencies) – PDF

Abstract: Pavol Florek (1895-1963) was a Slovak historian, museum worker, educator and politician of the Hlinka Slovak People’s Party (HSĽS). From 1926 to 1928 he worked at the Ministry of Education. In 1935 he became a deputy of the National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic. He retained his deputy’s mandate even after the establishment of the Slovak state. In 1948, he was tried by the People’s Court, but his punishment was waived. An interesting and hitherto unexplored chapter of Pavel Florek’s life is his almost latent inclination towards polonophilia, which is the subject of the article.
