The “Velvet Revolution” refers to a non-violent revolution in Czechoslovakia that saw the overthrow of the communist government there.
With other communist governments falling, and with growing street protests, the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia announced on November 28 they would give up their monopoly on political power. Barbed wire was removed from the border with West Germany and Austria in early December.
As one of the results of the Velvet Revolution, the first democratic elections since 1946 were held in June, 1990, and brought the first completely non-communist government to Czechoslovakia in over forty years.

ah see you added a peacefull Revolution :) dont know much about this revolution but changes without spoiling blood and leading to democratic is always great!
oh, yes :)
you know… for us this meant a lot…
But still it needs a lot of time to equal with other democratic european countries… Some ideas are still the same and some people are still signated by the previous establishment…
I am happy that i live in democratic, free country now :)
