17th November 1989 - one of the most important days in the history of the Czech Republic. Students' performance in Prague began a period of protests that led to the fall of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia and the return of democracy.
Originally commemorations of events sixty years ago, when the Nazis executed nine Czech students (17 November has been recognized as International Students' Day), Albert began in Prague. Students should plan approved by the authorities continue to Karel Hynek Macha grave at Vyehrad. City leaders, however, reasonably feared widespread protest, and thus mobilized units SNB, which were violently prevented students from entering the city.
Gathering at the Albert actually changed in a massive anti-government demonstration, there were banners requesting the cancellation of a ruling political party and demands for free elections. A considerable part of the people really went on Vyehrad, but thereafter the crowd, which gradually gained strength, turned to the center.
The first clash occurred at the end Vyehradsk street where demonstrators broke through a cordon of police forces and those deployed batons. The crowd then turned and continued along the waterfront to the center.
The event, which roused hundreds of thousands of people hesitant throughout the former Czechoslovakia, however, occurred on National Avenue. There SNB school standby section dammed the procession route and other members of the choir room inexplicably concluded from the other side. The situation became chaotic and led to the brutal emergency service to students who practically had nowhere to run. The beatings were joined by members of the airborne troops, the so-called "red berets". The indignation of the population supported also reports of alleged killing of one of the students. They later proved false.
November 17, 1989 started the process that went down in history as the Velvet Revolution.
