After the end of the Second World War, the world found itself in a state of increased political and military tension between the countries of the socialist bloc and the Western, capitalist powers. This period, known as the Cold War, was characterized by mutual hostility and an arms race that could escalate into open warfare at any time.

If World War III had been provoked then, nuclear weapons would most likely have been used in it. In response to this threat, many defensive and security measures were created, including the construction of bunkers such as the one in Přáslavice.

With the escalating situation after the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union placed increased emphasis on the resilience of the telecommunications network throughout the Warsaw Pact in the event of a crisis. This led to the planning and construction of ruggedized amplification stations.

After the Přáslavice building, which was the first of the series, the construction of other buildings followed.

These stations were to ensure the continuous operation of communication, and this was the basis for a large number of different telecommunication technologies that intersected in the building.
