Jiří Pernes (born 4 July 1948 in Svitavy) is a Czech historian.
From 1984 to 1990, he was the director of the Historical Museum in Slavkov u Brna (Austerlitz), and from 1990 to 1992, he was director of the Moravské zemské muzeum in Brno. In 2011, he directed the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes. Jiří Pernes held lectures at Masaryk University in Brno and at Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem.[1][2]
He now works in the Institute for Contemporary History at the Czech Academy of Science in Brno.[3] He wrote many books and papers about Moravian, Czech and Czechoslovak history in the 19th and 20th centuries.
In 2010, he was dismissed from his position as director of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes after allegations that he had plagiarized large portions of his 1997 book about Emanuel Moravec from another person's doctoral dissertation.[4][5] Pernes said that he had never knowingly copied the work of others.[4]
