Petr Placák: Where did the mistake occur?

Jan Ruml and Martin M. Šimečka – the children of one-time communists who abandoned their faith and became opponents of the regime – will take part in a discussion with the author of Gottwaldovo Československo jako fašistický stat (Gottwald’s Czechoslovakia as a Fascist State) Petr Placák. His father Bedřich Placák experienced a similar development to Jiří Ruml, Milan Šimečka and Jiřina Šiklová (who is also taking part in the debate): from convinced communist via reform communism to rejecting the system.
