Charter 77: Communist Czechosovakia's Rock And Roll Revolution

Charter 77 was an informal civic initiative in communist Czechoslovakia from 1976 to 1992. Spreading the text of the document was considered a political crime by the communist regime. After the 1989 Velvet Revolution, many of its members played important roles in Czech and Slovak politics.
