South Bohemian Society and Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in 1988 in Materials of South Bohemian Regional Committee of Communist Party of Czechoslovakia

Summary/Abstract: The crisis of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia was deepening in 1988, its isolation within the society was increasing and it was slowly moving to another quality period. Most people – working class especially – which was supposed to be the support of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia paradoxically (at least in the sample in South Bohemia) did not consider it to be a career promotion at all. The graduates were the only exception then. The leaders of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia must have learnt an unpleasant thing inevitably, neither workers nor juveniles would like to become members of the Party. The national economy did not grow either, the list of goods being unavailable got bigger and bigger, the conflict between increasing demand and decreasing (in better cases stagnating) market opportunities was more significant. Nevertheless, a comfortable life was still going on seemingly – in the Party funding itself as well, its leaders and cash box wardens did not mind a million’s budget deficit which was evened up quickly from the state budget.
