Studie z oblasti virtuální historie je věnována základním uzlovým bodům "sametové revoluce" v listopadu a prosinci 1989, v nichž se historičtí aktéři stáli před volbou z několika reálných alternativ. Autor objasňuje, proč se rozhodli pro jednu z nich a kam by se pravděpodobně ubíral vývoj, kdyby se rozhodli pro jinou.

The consideration of hypothetical alternatives to historical development in clearly established general conditions are, the author believes, a natural part of historical thinking. In this article he looks at the ‘Velvet Revolution’, that short period from the collapse of the Communist régime to the pushing through of a democracy in Czechoslovakia in November and December 1989, which for him becomes the space for such hypothetical reflections. In the historical records he seeks the key junctures in developments, and tries to outline the directions or paths that the political actors and members of the public could have set out on, but did not.
