President Vaclav Havel's decision of January 1, 1990 to amnesty more than 21,000 convicts in Czechoslovak prisons was a major revolutionary milestone - a symbolic step to break with the practices of the communist judiciary and the first major political decision by the new president to become a permanent part of his political and political life and moral legacy. However, thanks to publicized cases of crimes of released prisoners, amnesty has over time become an easy target for Havel's critics and political opponents. Myths about the "Havel Amnesty" are still spreading due to the absence of research, journalistic or literary works on the topic. [This book] aims to fill this gap, at least in part. [...] It includes a literary adaptation of a screenplay of a film with illustrations by Jozef Gertli Danglar, an essay by the Slovak historian Fedor Blascak, a Czech dissident and later President Vaclav Havel's Office of Mercy Lenka Mareckova, memoirs of participants in events related to the prison uprising in Leopoldov, Joska Skalnik, Stefan Hrib, Roman Kvasnica, Ladislav Snopko and others) as well as several expert studies on amnesty from 1 January 1990 published in period criminological proceedings.
