jiří stříbrný

jiří stříbrný -lrb- 14 january 1880 -- 21 january 1955 -rrb- was a czech politician .
he was one of the `` founding fathers '' of the czechoslovak republic , but became a quite controversial figure later on .
he died in prison in 1955 , after being charged with world war ii collaboration , although the specifics of that remain unclear .
in 1926 , stříbrný was expelled from the czechoslovak socialist party , just a short time after general radola gajda was forced to stand down from the military .
gajda openly admitted to being a supporter of italian fascism , although some would say he was fired on command of tomáš masaryk and edvard beneš .
gajda expressed his grievances through the press holdings of stříbrný , which did not sit well with the socialist party leadership , under beneš -lrb- although stříbrný was not particularly fond of beneš himself -rrb- .
stříbrný founded fascist party , the slavic socialist party -lrb- `` stranu slovanských socialistů '' -rrb- , later known as the national league -lrb- `` národní ligu '' -rrb- , through which he participated in local elections .
he cooperated with gajda and charles pergler in the 1929 elections -lrb- `` liga proti vázaným kandidátním listinám '' -rrb- , getting elected to the chamber of deputies again .
in the 1930s , he worked with karel kramář in the national union -lrb- `` národní sjednocení '' -rrb- , which also included the likes of františek mareš .
at the end of the second world war , stříbrný was arrested and charged with collaboration .
he died in valdice prison in 1955 .
