A Character Assassination Attempt: The Case of Václav Havel

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Communist government of Czechoslovakia targeted Havel, a prominent member of civic organization Charter 77. The campaign escalated to include the whole „cultural front“ (artists, performers, and actors since Czech cultural nationalism has always been closely tied to theater). The ideological struggle affected many citizens who were prosecuted or forced to publicly denounce the Charter 77 initiative. At that point, the regime committed an intensive character mutilation campaign aimed at destruction of characters (not just a superficial smearing of the public image of citizens), thus affecting post-Communist mentality of for years to come.This process can be partly explained in terms of cognitive dissonance theory. Havel resisted Communist character assassination attempts, became a leader of the Velvet revolution of 1989, repeatedly elected president of his country and an international symbol of a heroic moral struggle for humanistic ideals.
