When Michal Šufliarsky began to collect these items in 1969, his philosophy was that "what is forbidden is good." He worked as an employee of Czechoslovak television in Bratislava in the field of film and television production. His small private collection contains samizdat, recordings of Western music, photos of everyday life during communism, and unique recordings of student events. The activities of Mr. Šufliarsky are a good example of individual rather than political activism.

Mihai Manea Private Poster Collection

By means of the concert posters that he kept, Mihai Manea’s collection documents the coordinates of alternative musical culture in the 1970s and 1980s, particularly the jazz, rock, and folk genres. In communist Romania, these Western-inspired genres were permitted in the public space with considerable reservations and suspicion, given that they contravened the “Theses of July 1971” by which Nicolae Ceauşescu had imposed the re-autochthonizing of culture and the arts.

Mihajlo Mihajlov Collection

The Mihajlo Mihajlov collection gives an overview of his life and work as a Yugoslav dissident who lived in exile in the USA since 1978. Due to his efforts to democratize Tito's Yugoslavia and introduce political, economic and cultural pluralism, he became a political prisoner, first in the period from 1966 to 1970 and later from 1974 to 1977. After the “Mihajlov case” in Yugoslavia in 1966, a wave of dissident movements emerged in the Eastern bloc countries. Together with Milovan Đilas, Mihajlov became one of the most famous figures of the dissident movement in the Cold War world in general. The collection is stored at the Hoover Institution, located at Stanford University in the USA.
