description The history and the revivalistic significance of the Croatian song Nek se hrusti šaka mala [Let the Little Fist Clench] in its homeland, where it was suppressed by censorship for many years, is well known. A new insight, however, is that the song also resonated strongly with other Slavic nations. This new perspective is illustrated in the study by a number of examples from Czech musical culture. The study also seeks to shed light on the possible migration of the song and its reception in the Czech environment, which had traditionally been open to the idea of Slavic solidarity. The findings of the research reveal that the song captivated Czechs not only with its melody and rousing patriotic lyrics but also with its unique history. This methodologically traditional study offers a broader and updated perspective, providing a wealth of new insights, along with a textual appendix and score examples.
