We step into the time machine and transport ourselves to the year 1968, which was so full of hope and promise. A year that saw the end of censorship (for a while) and kindled the dreams of liberty. And it is in this year, that the Two Thousand Words Manifesto was written by Ludvík Vaculík, a Czech reformist hoping for the Communist party to reform from the inside. And the support was widespread but short-lived.
