To mark the 108th anniversary of the establishment of Czechoslovakia, Patrícia Polakovičová revisits two reports from the Radio Slovakia International archives. Our late colleague from RSI English section Anka Dragu explores the role of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and Milan Rastislav Štefánik in the creation of the common state, while Martina Šimkovičová Greňová takes listeners to the site of Štefánik's tragic plane crash in 1919, examining the circumstances of his death and his lasting legacy.
