Dissent and exile … the path to November
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: November 12, 2014, 19:00 – 21:00
What significance did figures in exile, who brought attention to events in Czechoslovakia, have for dissidents? And did they help the dissent? How did the “channels” function and how was cooperation across the Iron Curtain carried out? And how effective were the StB in thwarting contacts between the domestic “hive of Chartists” and the “diversionary centres” abroad?
Historian Petr Blažek will host a debate featuring sociologist Jiřina Šiklová, researcher Radek Schovánek (Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes), librarian Jiří Gruntorád (Libri prohibiti) and Alexandr Vondra.
