I remember the when Czechoslovakia became communist as my family was beside themselves in the US. We had family there and my grandmother went to visit in 1972. She came home most sad. I am sure this era of communism changed the country. I look at people like Madeline Allbright who was Czech and Secretary of State during the Clinton Administration. An extremely intelligent woman. Many of my Uncles were musicians in the Orchestra. Some were engineers, artists, and some farmers.
