“I started to wonder how it felt to be a Czech or a Slovak passenger on that bus. That first moment that the government dissolved, even some of the governments most ardent dissidents must have felt a sense of worry. After any great change, so many are left asking ‘now what?’ and the ones who are in a position to adapt and proceed are the ones left to run the world around themselves. Franklin brings up a moment in the history of Czechoslovakia that I’ve never before considered – what was it like to be on that bus and to hear for that first moment that the regime had fallen?”
