Have checked fuse, no part of element heats up at all.
Please no jokes about keeping hands warm when you push it!!!

As a Skoda driver myself, I don't find the comments above very nice.
Take it to your local dealer, let them check it out, it could be a number of things!

The wires that heat up the glass are really small and fragile.
Check the corner of the windscreen where the wires connect to the glass. That's usually a plug in connection. Make sure it's tight.

Then wear a pair of gloves to keep your hands warm when pushing it in the winter. Oh sorry was not supposed to say that.
Did you check the right nail in the fusebox?
Maybe the twisted elastic band motor broke and the battery is not getting a charge?
Maybe you are not reading the Soviet car manual correctly.
Put the gear into K and try the switch when you are going downhill.

Possibly a failure in the element that you can't see. Put a new backglass in and see what goes down. Better yet, trace the circuit. You'll most likely find a bad ground. 99% of electrical problems are because of bad grounds.

Possibly a break in the heat elements themselves, there are repair kits with electro-connecting compound you can get to bridge the gap.
