17th, 2019 was the thirtieth anniversary of the Velvet Revolution in
Czechoslovakia. This revolution, marvelous though it was, and its
aftermath, I believe, demonstrates that creating a mature democracy out
of thin air is exceedingly difficult, if not impossible. The apparent
success of the revolution hid flaws that seemed to be of secondary
importance at that pivotal moment, but came back to haunt the fragile
democracy. The premium placed on legal continuity and on the disarming
of any potential violence in 1989 would be paid for dearly later on, in
terms of the popularity, and even the legitimacy, of the country’s
post-communist regime.
