The Velvet Revolution was a non-violent transition of power in Czechoslovakia in which popular demonstrations against the one-party government of Czechoslovakia resulted in the end of 41 years of one-party rule in Czechoslovakia and the dismantling of the command economy and conversion to a parliamentary republic.So "our Velvet Revolution" would be a transition of what to what?
Just curious.
