Když byla v Česku 25. února 1948 nastolena komunistická diktatura, Zdenko Radslav pochopil, že hádat se s „vůlí lidu“ nemá smysl. Sám nabídl svůj majetek státu a na oplátku chtěl jediné – povolení, že bude moci s rodinou bydlet a hospodařit v Oboře. Jacísi úředníci mu to slíbili, ale u toho zůstalo.
When a communist dictature was installed on 28th February 1948 in Czechoslovakia, Zdenko Radslav understood that arguing with the „people´s will“ doesn´t make sense. He offered his wealth to the state and wanted the only thing as a countervalue – permission that he would live and work with his family without any problems in Obor. Some officials promised it, but that was all. Kinský family was declared to be the enemy of people and when they went to Italy to be present on their´s son Norbert marriage, communists taken away all their wealth.
