As a result of Constitutional Act on the Czechoslovak Federation, the Ministry of Culture of Slovakia was established in 1969, with Miroslav Válek as its minister, position he held until 1988.

Through the devices of avant-garde poetics he analysed the situation of modern man and was sceptical of his activity where he intervened in the way the world went.

[13] Regarded as acclaimed Slovak language poet, Miroslav Válek remains highly controversial figure due his political activities.

[17][18][19] Some of Válek's poetry pieces were set on music, most notably Jesenná láska (The Autumn Love) recorded by Miroslav Žbirka[20] and Smutná ranná električka (Sad Morning Tram) recorded by Pavol Hammel and Marián Varga.
