The year 1989, during the waning communist rule, uniquely processed day by day. The stories of the year are mapped by the author, a legal historian, based on archives and personal experiences. The era of moneylenders, corruption and fluctuating hopes. From what roots did today's oligarchs and politicians grow? Why did the August harpooning of a whale at the Charles Bridge have a greater popular response than all the proclamations of the Charter? How is it that the descendants of prominent dissidents studied prestigious fields at the university?
