Anotace: The article is focused on the story of the village Kralupy u Chomutova, which was

demolished in the 1970s due to the expanding coal mining. It monitors the process of demolition
and response of its citizens. The aim of this case is to find out what exactly happened during this
process, how it was accepted by citizens, and why they accepted it as they did. The study is divided
into three large topics. The first one is focused on the demographic development of the region.
The village was settled in the so-called Sudeten area, so there was an almost complete exchange of
inhabitants in the past. The second part deals with the economic context of the expansion of coal
mining in the context of the communist regime. The third one presents the process of demolition
and acceptation of citizens.
