The installation, previously known as
Vittoriale of the East Germans (
das Vittoriale der Ostdeutschen), critically addresses GDR period captured in German museums that thematized socialism after 1990. In the same token, it critiques the writing of history in post-reunification Germany.
The installation was created by Richard von Gigantikow in 1990 and it includes objects created and collected before 1989. The largest share of the objects included in the installation were collected in 1990 from the vacant Central Committee of the FDJ (Free German Youth – the once official youth movement of the GDR) located at Unter den Linden in Berlin. A great part of this collection includes devotional objects of socialism, such as the GDR flag and statues, which have been recontextualised by the artist.

The authorities were able to institutionally integrate the breakdancing movement relatively quickly in the GDR by stressing its anti-imperialist undertones. As is documented here from the Hoyeswerda youth clubhouse official dance competitions were held throughout the country. This certificate was produced with a noticeable attention to and love for detail.

Czech literary and art critic and theoretician Jindřich Chalupecký was interested in the work of French-American painter and sculptor Marcel Duchamp. In 1969, as the head of the Václav Špála Gallery in Prague, Chalupecký organised an exhibition dedicated to Duchamp. Later, during the so-called normalization period, Chalupecký was banned from publishing. However, some of his texts were issued in samizdat volumes or abroad. This was also the case with his article about Marcel Duchamp entitled “Marcel Duchamp: A Re-Evaluation” which was published in the journal
Artibus et Historiae in 1985. The text was translated into English by Canadian writer and translator Paul Wilson, who had been living in Czechoslovakia since 1967 and was expelled from this country in 1977.
The Museum of Czech Literature possesses a typed draft of this article from 1981 translated by Paul Wilson with handwritten notes and corrections and a proof of this article from the journal
Artibus et Historiae from 1985.

The Basic Declaration of Charter 77 of 1st January 1977 on the Causes of the Origin, Purpose and Targets of Charter 77, which on the Holiday of the Three Kings on January 6th, 1977, the playwright Václav Havel, the actor Pavel Landovský and the writer Ludvík Vaculík were issued to the Office of the Federal Assembly, Czechoslovakia and the Czechoslovak Press Office. On the way to Prague's Dejvice, their chase was ended, and the StB members caught up with them and they were then, detained by state security. The three were released later in the evening, apparently in response to the news which travelled abroad. The published Declaration of Charter 77 had given rise to a number of restrictive measures by the Czechoslovak regime. Its signatories were subjected to a constant persecution of the regime through police surveillance, house searches, job cuts, seizure of passports, detention, physical violence, imprisonment or expulsion from the country.

Charter 77 (Charta 77 in Czech and in Slovak) was an informal civic initiative in communist Czechoslovakia from 1976 to 1992, named after the document Charter 77 from January 1977. Founding members and architects were Jiří Němec, Václav Benda, Ladislav Hejdánek, Václav Havel, Jan Patočka, Zdeněk Mlynář, Jiří Hájek, Martin Palouš, and Pavel Kohout. Spreading the text of the document was considered a political crime by the communist regime. After the 1989 Velvet Revolution, many of its members played important roles in Czech and Slovak politics. We do not know when and under what circumstances this copy of Charter 77 Declaration was brought to Mr. Šufliarsky's collection.
