Na Stráž
''Na stráž'' (English: "On guard") is a Czech and Slovak phrase sometimes associated with far-right politics in Slovakia. It has been described as "the Slovak version of ''Heil Hitler''". During the era of the Slovak State, the phrase was used informally as a greeting by Hlinka Guard members. The phrase was also used by Slovak Ústredie slovenských katolíckych skautov (Headquarters of Slovak Catholic Scouts) and Czech Sokol movement at the beginng of 20th century. The Sokol badge from 1907 became the most widespread Sokol badge. Marian Kotleba habitually employed the phrase during his early political career. In 2014, his party tried to register the civic organization "Ľudová stráž", which was rejected due to its far right connotation. In January 2020, Kotleba Party candidate Anton Grňo was fined 5,000 euros for voicing the greeting at a 2018 demonstration in front of the Supreme Court of Slovakia The Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic is the highest juridical author ...

'Hail Hitler!', ), ''"Heil, mein Führer!"'' ('Hail, my leader!'), or ''"Sieg Heil!"'' ('Hail victory!').

The Czechs ( cs, Češi, ; singular Czech, masculine: ''Čech'' , singular feminine: ''Češka'' ), or the Czech people (), are a West Slavic ethnic group and a nation native to the Czech Republic in Central Europe, who share a common ancestry, culture, history, and the Czech language.

During the Migration Period, West Slavic tribes settled in the area, "assimilated the remaining Celtic and Germanic populations", and formed a principality in the 9th century, which was initially part of Great Moravia, in form of Duchy of Bohemia and later Kingdom of Bohemia, the predecessors of the modern republic.
