History: 1948 - 1989 Back to: History By the mid-1960s the Czech lands, which had inherited most of the wealth of Autria-Hungary, had a standard of living much lower than that of neighbouring Austria, a country with virtually no natural resources and little industry. Social and political pressures for reform could not be contained, and with the appointment of Alexander Dubcek, as First Secretary of the Communist Party in early 1968, the "Prague Spring" began. "Socialism with a human face" became the declared aim of the government, and for a while the nation united enthusiastically behind the regime. Brezhnev’s Soviet Union and its allies feared that the Czechoslovak Communist Party would be unable to contain the pressures for real change. While Czechs and Slovaks made the most of their first taste of freedom for 20 years, publishing pamphlets, founding political parties or simply crossing the border for a long forbidden summer holiday, the Russians sent troops into Czechoslovakia for a long drawn out "summer manoeuvres". Back to Normal Mr. Dubcek was shunted aside, first as Ambassador to Turkey, when as a non-person, forced to live and work in obscurity as a clerk in the Forestry Commission in Bratislava. All forms of dissidence were ruthlessly stamped out by administrative measures such as dismissal from work or the exclusion of children from higher education.

The History of Wine in the Czech Republic
Early on there was a fascination with white wines, but during the 15th century red wines became the accepted standard, with several varieties of note including Sauvingnon Blanc and Rouge. Of interest were the Baptist monks who travelled through Bohemia, establishing monasteries and vineyards as they expanded their sphere of influence. Around the turn of the 20th Century interest in wine was replaced by cheap beer and brandy, and of course water was clean enough to drink by this time. Only in the last decade, since independence from the USSR has there has been a huge resurgence in the popularity of wine in Czech, and with high import duties on wine, vintners in Czech are making a comeback. Now there are many varieties of grapes grown here, White Reisling, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Neuburger, Sauvignon, Pinot Gris, and others covering some 17,000 hectares. In 1995 the Czech Republic established the Viticultural Law that now governs and standardizes the industry and it's production purity. Specialty wines such as Ice and Straw wines are also proving very popular these days.

    Deutsch Francais The Situation of the Roma after November 1989
    Much as it did in Czech society, life among the Roma changed drastically after November 1989. A part of the Roma began to search for their identity and to open their culture. They started to put out Romani periodicals and works of original Romani literature, and started to speak of the Roma as a distinct ethnic minority with the right to education in their mother tongue. The post-November developments had another side, however, as the Roma have faced high unemployment (as a consequence of their low skill levels and the prejudice they face from many employers), the loss of the social safety net with which the socialist state ensured their submission (as well as that of the rest of Czech society), and most of all, the rapid rise in acts of physical violence towards the Roma.

    Deutsch Francais The History of the Roma Minority in the Czech Republic
    The exact year of the Roma's arrival on the territory of the present-day Czech Republic is difficult to determine, as the chronicles of the time don't mention their arrival in any clear or concrete way. In the chronicle of "Dalimil," in the chapter "About the Pagans" the author makes reference to Tatar scouts who were moving through the Czech Lands after 1242, and with whom he could be confusing the Roma, though Roma scholars haven't verified this document. Another reference to the Roma in the Czech Lands comes from the end of the 14th century, when the Executioner's Book of the Lord of Rozmberk contains the testimony of a condemned man, who names as his accomplice a "black gypsy." This could be fact, as the Roma arrived in Central Europe in the 15th century. Many historians also refer to this century as the "Golden Age of the Roma in Europe," when they were being received by aristocrats and being given letters of protection and other privileges. Solid proof of the Roma's residence on Czech territory is actually one of these letters of protection, which was issued on April 17th, 1423 at Spissky Castle by the Holy Roman Emperor and Czech King, Zikmund. The text of this letter has been preserved and reads as follows:

    The Czech Republic – a substantial part of European history and future
    von Pavel Telicka

    Over the past decade, the Czech society has undergone dramatic changes. After the political changeover in November 1989 Pavel Telicka , the Czech Republic quickly became a pluralist democracy; the centrally planned economy was turned into a functioning free-market economy. Almost 75 years after its foundation, former Czechoslovakia split up peacefully in 1992 and gave birth to an independent Czech Republic.
    Since the 1950s, a political and economic entity of global importance has been developing in the neighbourhood of the Czech Republic, the European Communities, later the European Union. After 1989, the EU has become Czech Republic's largest trading partner with more than 65 per cent share of its foreign trade and EU member states are now the largest investors in the country. Czech Republic's proximity to the Union is clearly shown not only by the fact that the country shares its longest part of the border with EU member states. More importantly, the Czechs have always shared the European civilisation and cultural values, they have been a substantial part of European history. It is therefore no surprise that since 1989, the accession to the EC (later EU) has been perceived by a majority of the Czech population as a historic necessity and full integration into the EU is supported by all parliamentary parties in the Czech Republic.

    Czech Literature Timeline Czech literature began with the introduction of Christianity into Moravia in about 863 by Cyril and Methodius, the apostles of the Slavs. Latin writing, including an important chronicle of Bohemia, by the monk 'Cosmas', prevailed during the next two centuries. At the beginning of the 14th century a Czech translation was made of the Latin Alexandreid, a life of Alexander the Great, by the 12th-century French poet Gautier de Lille. A rhymed Czech chronicle marked by strong nationalist feeling appeared about the same time, along with several religious legends in Czech verse, culminating in a great verse 'Life of Saint Catherine'. A verse dialogue, 'The Groom and the Student', full of colorful details of medieval daily life, and a novel with a romantic plot, 'The Weaver', appeared about 1400. This period is marked by the Hussite religious reformation carried out by the Bohemian preacher John Huss (Jan Hus) and his followers. Huss, an ardent nationalist who wrote popular theological works in Czech, demonstrated his concern for the language by writing such studies as his 'De Orthographia Bohemica' (Czech Orthography, circa 1412). Jan Blahoslav, bishop of the Brethren, a poet and writer on musical and poetic theory, was the author of a scholarly Czech Grammar. Along with others, he took part in the compilation of the Czech Protestant Kralice Bible, which served as a literary model of classical Czech.

  • Tell a Friend History in Brief Around the 4th century B.C. the present-day Czech Republic was populated by Celts . They were the first ethnic group to arrive in the area, according to historical evidence. The Celtic Boii tribe gave the country its Latin name - Boiohaemum (Bohemia). They were pushed out by the German tribes (Marcomanni, Quidi) before the beginning of our era.
    At the end of 5th and the beginning of 6th century Slavs settled in the territory of Bohemia and Moravia during the period known as the Migration of Peoples. The first half of the 7th century marks the first successful attempt to unite Slavonic tribes. The so-called "Samo's kingdom" resisted the pressure of the powerful Avar empire centered in the Hungarian lowlands, and defended its territory against the forces of the Frank attackers from the west, with partial success.
    The Great Moravian Empire (the last two-thirds of the 9th century - destroyed by the Magyars in the years 903-907)
    The culture of the Great Moravian Empire greatly influenced the development of culture and religion among the Eastern and Southern Slavs in the Middle Ages. In 863, the Byzantine Christian missionaries Constantin and Methodius came to Moravia to introduce Slavic liturgy there. Very soon, however, the influence of the Roman Catholic Church expanded, proving to be decisive in the course of the history of Bohemia and Moravia.

    Rogaining history in Czech Republic
    In Czech Republic (after Czechoslovakia was divided in 1993) several years have passed without any activity in rogaining. As late as in 1996, when Tomás Prokes and Libor Zrídkaveselý won the prestigious swedish Fjällorienteering (3 days Mountain-o), a group of o-runners around Tomás Prokes and Václav Zakouril decided to establish an independent rogaining association and started to organize rogaining and mountain orienteering events. In autumn 1996, the Czech Association of Rogaining and Mountain Orienteering (CAR) was officially founded and the first two races in mountain-o were held at Branzez and Liberec. The following year the first rogaining (12 and 24 h) was organized as 1-st Open Czech Championships by Honza Vokurka and his team. Open category was won by czech-finnish team Seidl-Kakko (Iiro Kakko was the first european to become world champion in 1998!). In the area of sport policy, the situation varies between successes and failures. Big majority (90 %) of CAR members are orienteerers and this fact causes contentions with the Czech Orienteering Federation leadership, whose reaction on founding of CAR was negative. Even the felt discriminatory attitude of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, when all required criteria including the minimum number of members (800) were filled, can be caused by disagreements with COF (8000 members).

    Vilem Precan: Eyes Wide Open
    Andrew Yurkovsky
    World Press Review senior editor Czech historian Vilem Precan, who turned 70 this year, used to be an idealistic man of the left before he cast a critical eye on the history of what was once Czechoslovakia. He began with the 1944 Slovak National Uprising, an important event in the official version of communist anti-Nazi resistance. He moved on to the 1968 Soviet invasion, which interrupted the political reforms known as the Prague Spring. Interest in the latter cost him his professional livelihood. He worked at menial jobs for several years before choosing a life of exile and settling in Germany, where he set up an important center for samizdat literature. “More than anything else, I wanted to be an academic historian—the kind who sits in an archive and then publishes books. But life took another course,” Precan recalls in a profile in the Prague daily
