During the revolution, the Czechoslovakian nationalist agrarian reforms deprived him of his lands in Bohemia and he withdrew to [[Salzkammergut]] in Austria.<ref>'Czernin Ottokar Graf', ''op. cit.''</ref> From 1920 to 1923, he served as a deputy of the ''Demokratische Partei'' in the National Council of the Republic of Austria.
In 1917, he was bestowed with the [[Order of Saint Stephen of Hungary|Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Stephen]]<ref>[http://tornai.com/rendtagok.htm Magyar Királyi Szent István Rend] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101222022855/http://tornai.com/rendtagok.htm |date=2010-12-22 }}</ref> and invested as a [[List of Knights of the Golden Fleece|Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece]].<ref>[http://www.antiquesatoz.com/sgfleece/knights7.htm Chevaliers de la Toison d'Or]</ref> Apparently he wrote to Empress [[Empress Zita of Austria|Zita]] after the war asking her not to expel him from the latter order because of his erratic behaviour as Foreign Minister.<ref>[http://www.oocities.org/veldes1/czernin.html 'Ottokar Graf Czernin von und zu Chudenitz', Solving Problems Through Force]</ref>
In 1919, he published his memoirs of his days as an insider in the [[Austro-Hungarian]] political and diplomatic arenas during [[World War I]], called ''In the World War'', an interesting look at the inside machinations of an ancient empire being pulled apart by war.
