Social and Political Situation and Activities of Communist and State Organs in ČeskýKrumlov Area from Mid-August to 17 November 1989

Summary/Abstract: The political, social and economic situation in the observed period from August to 17 November 1989 did not show any signs of some remarkable changes in the foreseeable period. At that time existing Communist Party and state administration still thoroughly fulfilled orders of higher regional authorities and it did not start any experiments, which would alter their competencies. In this period, it was still publically spoken about restructuring and democracy, the local border civic society was waking up very slowly and no opposition activities or activities of organized groups existed here at all. In spite of this fact the local district committee of the Czechoslovak Communist Party was permanently pushing on the elementary organizations of the Party to get engaged in the fight against independent groups. They were to engage the broad public from factories, for example in the form various denouncing petitions. It happened in the connection with the anniversary of 21st August, for example. It is necessary to say that there was no effort and will of the great majority of people, and, moreover, party members to get engaged in similar actions which resembled remotely the 1950s. The activity of the local regional committee of the Socialist Youth Union and its many elementary organizations, which were working in the formal mode, dropped. As the political changes in neighbouring countries of the socialist block were in progress and in autumn the nervousness of the Party bodies on all levels was increasing, this was also seen in the activity of the Communist Party till the fateful 17th November 1989.
