    Twenty Years After the Iron Curtain: the Czech Republic in Transition Zdeněk Janík March 25, 2010

    Twenty Years after the Iron Curtain: The Czech Republic in Transition Zdeněk Janík March 25, 2010 Assistant Professor at Masaryk University in the Czech Republic n November of last year, the Czech Republic commemorated the fall of the communist regime in I Czechoslovakia, which occurred twenty years prior.1 The twentieth anniversary invites thoughts, many times troubling, on how far the Czechs have advanced on their path from a totalitarian regime to a pluralistic democracy. This lecture summarizes and evaluates the process of democratization of the Czech Republic’s political institutions, its transition from a centrally planned economy to a free market economy, and the transformation of its civil society. Although the political and economic transitions have been largely accomplished, democratization of Czech civil society is a road yet to be successfully traveled. This lecture primarily focuses on why this transformation from a closed to a truly open and autonomous civil society unburdened with the communist past has failed, been incomplete, or faced numerous roadblocks. HISTORY The Czech Republic was formerly the Czechoslovak Republic. It was established in 1918 thanks to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and his strong advocacy for the self-determination of new nations coming out of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after the World War I. Although Czechoslovakia was based on the concept of Czech nationhood, the new nation-state of fifteen-million people was actually multi- ethnic, consisting of people from the Czech lands (Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia), Slovakia, Subcarpathian Ruthenia (today’s Ukraine), and approximately three million ethnic Germans. Since especially the Sudeten Germans did not join Czechoslovakia by means of self-determination, the nation- state endorsed the policy of cultural pluralism, granting recognition to the various ethnicities present on its soil.

The German population (dark gray bullets) was almost entirely expelled in 1945 and 1946 and partly replaced by residents mainly from Czech hinterlands and Slovakia. ‘Czechs’ refers to all other non-German residents (black triangles).

The red line represents the demarcation line between US and Red Army forces in 1945 Czechoslovakia, which runs from Karlovy Vary over Plzeň to České Budějovice (black dots). Prague is the capital city. The US-liberated regions of Sudetenland are in dark gray, the Red Army-liberated regions are in light gray. Sudetenland was settled by ethnic Germans and annexed by Nazi Germany in October 1938.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    introduction Writing a Postwar History The biggest victim of the Stalinization of architecture was housing. [Karel] Teige would have recoiled in horror at the endless drab rows of prefabricated boxes of mass housing proliferating around all the major cities of Czechoslo- vakia. Here was the exact antithesis of his utopia of collective dwelling, resem- bling more the housing barracks of capitalist rent exploitation and greed than the joyful housing developments of a new socialist paradise. The result was one of the most depressing collections of banality in the history of Czech architecture, one that still mars the architectural landscape of this small coun- try and will be difficult—if not impossible—to erase from its map for decades, if not centuries. Eric Dluhosch, 2002 Few building types are as vilified as the socialist housing block. Built by the thousands in Eastern Europe in the decades after World War II, the apartment buildings of the planned economy are notorious for problems such as faulty construction methods, lack of space, nonexistent landscaping, long-term maintenance lapses, and general ugliness. The typical narrative of the con- struction and perceived failure of these blocks, the most iconic of which was the structural panel building (panelový dům or panelák, for short, in Czech), places the blame with a Soviet-imposed system of building that was forced upon the unwilling countries of Eastern Europe after the Communists came to power.1 This shift not only brought neoclassicism and historicism to the region but also ended the idealistic era of avant-garde modernism, which dis- appeared with the arrival of fascism in many European countries but sur- vived in Czechoslovakia through World War II.

It reflects many different sources, not all of which agree with one another! If some of the accounts were not in agreement with specific dates, the compilers did their best to reflect accurate information. Clare’s group was known as the Poor Ladies of San Damiano, Damianites or the Poor Ladies of Assisi [known today as the Order of St. Clare or Poor Clares (O.S.C. or P.C.; Second Order); the Third Order of St. Francis (T.O.S.F.; Third Order Secular) is known today as the Secular Franciscan Order (O.F.S., Ordo Franciscanus Saecularis).
