This study examines the historical development and programmatic orientation of the journal Křesťanská revue during the interwar period. The text traces the transformation of the periodical under the leadership of key figures such as Emanuel Rádl and Josef Lukl Hromádka against the backdrop of a rapidly changing domestic and international political landscape. While the journal maintained a sharp critical stance in its first decade, the onset of illness for Masaryk and Rádl, coupled with Hromádka's emigration to the United States following the Munich Agreement, forced a significant shift in its editorial character. The article analyzes how the editorial team, including Jaroslav Šimsa, navigated the increasing pressure and the loss of its primary ideological leaders. Despite Hromádka's declarations of programmatic continuity, external circumstances and the approaching global conflict inevitably altered the journal's critical scope until its forced termination. This evolution reflects a transition from open intellectual critique to a heroic struggle for survival and identity preservation under increasingly restrictive conditions prior to its eventual suppression.
