Střední vrstvy v české společnosti a výzkumu: mizející nebo zapomenuté?

In the article, fates of the middle class in Czech society and its reflection in Czech sociology are briefly overviewed. The first part is devoted to the interwar Czechoslovakia which was reflected as a middle-class society. The second part depicts suppression of the entrepreneurial middle class by the communist regime and its resurrection since early 1990s. The third part is about after-war sociological research of this phenomenon, which has been developed somewhat more during transition.
