The reason that I am including Lustrace here even though it came - TopicsExpress



          

The reason that I am including Lustrace here even though it came into law in 1991 is that it gives an indication of how life was before the revolution. A person didnt know if their spouse, friend or children were reporting to the StB about them. Lustrace was probably one of the indirect reasons why President Havel did not find fault with the people that signed against Charter 77. Lustrace was meant to punish informers, secret police agents, or high-ranking party officials; instead, a persons name in the files implied guilt, whether or not the information in the files was accurate or forged. A comparison is been made between Communist purges and lustrace. praguepost.cz/archivescontent/32005-lustrace-in-limbo.html
