The central question addressed in this paper is how Czech citizens two decades after the Velvet Revolution perceive this key historical event? In order to answer this question public opinion toward the Velvet Revolution is examined in terms of (1) goals: reform or revolution, (2) leadership: dissident elites or a mass movement, and (3) reasons: political or economic change. The evidence presented in this paper reveals that the Czech public sees the Velvet Revolution as being a bloodless overthrow of the previous political regime where the primary goal was political rather than economic change. However, the relative importance of the leadership role played by counter-elite dissidents vis-à-vis the actions of ordinary citizens divides Czech public opinion.
