I saw this museum advertised the first day we were in Prague and made a note to see it while we were here. I loved the poster, for one thing. It came down to our last weekend and I realized we still needed to go, so we set out. I have to say it is one of the most affecting places I’ve visited over here.
The Czechs are not known for their sense of humor, but it can be found, such as their placing this museum in the same building as a McDonald’s, next to a casino, and across the street from Benetton. There are also some rather rude jokes at the expense of the Russians and Communism in the gift shop, but the museum itself is serious. One might even say, “deadly serious.”
I could write in greater detail about my impressions, but perhaps it’s better to let the people who lived through it do it in their way. I took photos of some of the English-language placards that accompanied the photos and displays. These are also available in French, German, Czech, and several other languages for greater edification. Let’s let them tell the story.
“…authorized to issue temporary decrees enforcing laws without any approval of the parliament…” hmmm?
Targeting opponents with heinous accusations and show trials, and extravagant media campaigns.
A “shock-workers” movement to push laborers to maximum effort, and trade unions declaring that “after the victory of socialism, laborer’s wages would not be important.”
Supply and Demand? Why, there ought to be a law…
Those in power always find a way to get their luxury goods. Or their groceries.
There are no spiritual values, outside the State. There is no beauty, but what serves the State. There is no eternity…but the State. Rape, pillage and pollute the land and consequently the people; it doesn’t matter as long as the State benefits.
A well-regulated militia?
You can’t find a more “well-regulated” militia than that: armed groups established by the government as “the fist of the labor class” to intimidate its enemies, especially the labor class. Of course, they couldn’t be trusted with bullets for their guns.
To get a better feel for the exhibits, take the virtual tour here.
You wind your way through the rooms of the museum in what was once the Savarin Palace. The exhibits feature authentic memorabilia, though “memorabilia” is such a trifling-sounding word that implies nostalgia, and the memories here are far from fond. The last portion on your way out (before the gift shop, Comrade Lenin) is devoted to a small viewing room that plays a short film in a loop describing Czech life from the Communist takeover to the Velvet Revolution in 1989. It was called the “Velvet” Revolution because shots weren’t fired, but that does not mean it was peaceful or that the history leading up to it wasn’t bloody.
I can remember, as a kid, watching the news in 1969 as the Soviet tanks rolled into Prague to crush the “Prague Spring” and any nascent hopes of reform within the Czech Communist Party. This, too, was depicted in the film and on the wall outside the viewing room: riots, beatings, tear-gassing, armed troops and war-machines rolling over the cobblestones of Wenceslas Square that we’d come to know so well, plain-clothes agents in the crowd tackling and kicking protesters, plus accounts of three students who self-immolated in protest against Communist control.Despite the incessant cradle-to-grave indoctrination, propagandizing, intimidation and spying, the Communists couldn’t stamp out hope and a desire for freedom from such a dehumanizing existence.
Communist doctrine often referred to the “inevitability of history” and Communism’s ultimate victory, yet by the 1980s, history was clearly turning against Communism as Poland, Hungary and East Germany shook off the shackles of totalitarianism. Even so, Czechoslovakia’s escape was not a done deal. The first protest drew maybe 10,000 to Wenceslas; as the week went on the numbers grew, until finally 500,000 were crowding in every night to apply pressure and turn the tables of intimidation as they watched their one-time rulers caving in. (Velvet Revolution timeline and summary here). Blood was still being spilled; certain claws do not release easily, after all. The film ends with a bittersweet poem and images describing how much sweeter survival is after all the bitter pain that preceded it.
As I said, it is very affecting. As we left, I stopped at the desk of the woman who had sold us our tickets. She was about my age, and would have seen 1969 and 1989, and spoke very good English. She was standing, and turned to me. “Thank you,” I said, and she responded with a small, polite smile. “And thank you to people of Prague,” I added, and received a slow, solemn nod.

Do you have a spam problem on this website; I
also am a blogger, and I was wondering your situation; many of us have developed some nice methods and we are
looking to exchange solutions with other folks, be sure to
shoot me an e-mail if interested.
Wow that was odd. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear.
Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless,
just wanted to say fantastic blog!
When someone writes an paragraph he/she keeps the idea
of a user in his/her mind that how a user can understand it.
Thus that’s why this piece of writing is outstdanding.
Thanks!
Thanks designed for sharing such a pleasant idea,
article is good, thats why i have read it entirely
Howdy, I think your site might be having web browser compatibility problems.
When I take a look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet
Explorer, it has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you
a quick heads up! Aside from that, excellent site!
I think that what you said was very reasonable. But,
what about this? suppose you were to write a awesome headline?
I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added a title
to maybe get folk’s attention? I mean At the
Museum of Communism | thenightwriterblog.com is kinda boring.
You might look at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create post headlines to get viewers to open the links.
You might add a video or a related picture or two to get
people excited about what you’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
Greetings! Very helpful advice within this post!
It is the little changes that will make the most significant changes.
Many thanks for sharing!
I enjoy looking through a post that can make men and women think.
Also, many thanks for permitting me to comment!

When someone writes an piece of writing he/she keeps the
thought of a user in his/her mind that how a user can be aware of it.
Thus that’s why this piece of writing is great. Thanks!
I am not sure where you’re getting your information, but good topic.
I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more.
Thanks for excellent information I was looking for this information for my mission.
Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect
against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any suggestions?
Hey there great website! Does running a blog similar
to this take a great deal of work? I’ve no knowledge of coding however I had been hoping
to start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow, if
you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners
please share. I know this is off subject but I just needed to
ask. Thanks!
The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot
drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I do believe all the ideas you’ve offered for your post. They’re really
convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very brief for novices.
May just you please extend them a little from next time?
Thank you for the post.

Hi there! This blog post could not be written much better!
Looking through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He continually kept preaching about this. I am
going to forward this article to him. Fairly certain he’s going to have a great
read. I appreciate you for sharing!
It’s very effortless to find out any matter on web as compared to textbooks, as I found this paragraph at this website.

Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to grasp so much
about this, like you wrote the guide in it or something.
I think that you could do with some percent to force the
message home a little bit, however other than that, this is
magnificent blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your website.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me
to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create
your theme? Superb work!
I just couldn’t depart your website prior to suggesting that I extremely enjoyed the usual information an individual provide in your
visitors? Is gonna be again often in order to investigate cross-check new posts
Hi, I do think this is a great website. I
stumbledupon it 😉 I may come back yet again since I bookmarked it.
Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you be rich and continue to help others.
After I originally commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each
time a comment is added I recieve four emails with the exact same comment.
Perhaps there is a way you can remove me from that service?
Thank you!
Hello, always i used to check weblog posts here in the early
hours in the daylight, as i like to gain knowledge of more and more.
Hello just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t
loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and
both show the same outcome.
Hi there! I know this is somewhat off-topic but I needed
to ask. Does building a well-established website
such as yours require a massive amount work? I am brand new to running a blog but I do write in my journal every day.
I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and feelings online.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips
for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself
or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement.
Do you know any methods to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d
definitely appreciate it.
If you want to obtain a great deal from this paragraph then you have to apply these techniques to your won website.
I quite like reading through an article that will make men and women think.
Also, many thanks for allowing for me to comment!
At this time it looks like BlogEngine is the preferred blogging platform out there
right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added”
checkbox and now each time a comment is added I
get several e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove
people from that service? Thanks!
Pretty! This was an extremely wonderful article. Many thanks for providing these details.
Hi there this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors
or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from
someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
