The National Memory Institute (
See
The Institute had 7 sees since its establishment, currently located at Miletičova Street 19 in Bratislava. In December 2021 it was announced that by 2026, the Institute should relocate to newly modernised and reconstructed buildings at Krížna Street in Bratislava, where a library and an exposition were to be opened to the public.[5]
Controversy
One of the institution's staff historians, Martin Lacko , was fired in 2016 for promoting the Slovak State.[6]
Academic opinion
Political scientist Jelena Subotić states that after Langoš's death, "The Institute’s main goal became the delegitimization of Slovakia’s communist regime, achieved by grouping it together with fascism while making a case that communist dictatorship was, in fact, worse."[8]
