cluster 1: simple dark commemorative events
Dark commemorative events related to the liberation struggle (w w i i)
account for 48.5 of all events in electronic media reports; 12 of them
are placed in Cluster 1 (see Table 9.4), the smallest cluster. Homogene-
ity is problematic, but wwi i together with fascist terror prevails in any
case. The said events rely on historical facts (Mo = 9) and mainly occur
in towns (Mo = 7) at memorials or internment sites (Mo = 7). Memorial
services dominate as the event type (Mo = 7) and speeches are the most
frequent forms of cultural programmes (Mo = 6). Flower ceremonies, as
an important component of the programme, are typical for this cluster
(Mo = 6). Among politicians, only local politicians participate at such
events (Mo = 7). Mixed generations of visitors are the most characteris-
tic for Cluster 1 (Mo = 6), while foreign visitors and politicians are not
present in the analysed events. Interestingly, militarisation (uniformed,
uniformed and armed visitors, visitors in veterans’ uniforms), mytholo-
gisation, mass visit as well as young visitors are clearly not characteris-
ing for such events. Naturally, symbols of fascism are also predictably not
present.
cluster 2: wwii-related dark commemorative
events of rural areas
Dark commemorative events of Cluster 2 account for 43.8 of all wwi i-
related events in electronic media reports. They rely on historical facts
(Mo = 17) and mainly occur in villages (Mo = 12) at sites of individual
or mass death (Mo = 9) – only Cluster 2 events have these characteris-
tics. Moreover, memorial services dominate as the event type (Mo = 18;
most of all) and a varied cultural programme is also characteristic only
