Velvet Revolution to Transition: The Czech Republic's Success Story

The collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe proved to be a Spectacular event of the closing years of twentieth century. Startling changes took place with great velocity and those energetic actors appeared on the international scene whose energies otherwise had been suppressed with iron fist under the shadow of communism and Czechoslovakia was one of those actors. In the initial stages of revolution, it were Hungary and Poland who took lead in demolishing the citadels of communism and Czechoslovakia was bit hesitant and a reluctant runner but when it took leap towards transition then there was no looking back. There emerged a spontaneous expression of resistance from all over Czechoslovakia against the repressive communist regime and full public declaration of’war on communist regime came with the strike of students in universities and to some extent in secondary schools and theaters. The brutal police attack on students’ demonstrations on November 17, 1989 became a last nail in the coffin of communist regime as it envoked mass opposition and this was named as “Velvet Revolution”.
