Summary/Abstract: I think that the 90s represented the most beautiful and incredible period in my life. They followed immediately after the so-called revolution. I had taken part in it ever since the beginning and people were convinced that we would experience a tremendous transformation – we still couldn’t say much about its nature, but we could swear it wasn’t far –, and we understood democracy as a form of anarchy with meetings in the public square, University Square and all the other activities I participated in.
