Satisfied, Sceptical or Simply Indifferent? Current Public Opinion towards the Fall of Communism in the Czech Republic
Original language description
This chapter explores Czech public opinion toward the Velvet Revolution using a survey from 2008. Attitudes toward the Velvet Revolution are examined in terms of (1) goals: reform or revolution, (2) leadership: dissident elites or a mass movement, and (3) reasons: political or economic change. The evidence presented reveals that the Czech public sees the Velvet Revolution as being a bloodless overthrow of comunism. The leadership role played by dissident elite s divides Czech public opinion.
