On November 17, 1989, nine days after the fall of the Berlin Wall roughly 200 miles to the north, students gather ‘en masse’ in Prague, Czechoslovakia to protest the communist regime. The demonstration sets off what will become known as the Velvet Revolution, the non-violent toppling of the Czechoslovak government and one of a series of anti-communist revolutions that marked the late 1980s and early ’90s.

I thought uploading this video here today would be fitting as I made it a few years back. I’m not looking to advertise or seek clout, but if you enjoyed this, you can find more content like this on my YT: [HERE](https://www.youtube.com/@compatriotpurge1.04)

Note the drab clothing. Yeah, I was a kid at that time and not even kids would have nice clothing. The regime pissed on consumer goods, from their ideological point of view, only heavy industry was important.
I am NOT nostalgic.
