Milos JAKES - Karel URBANEK - resignation - replacement
A brutal police action against peaceful march of students in Prague on November 17, 1989, sparked the Velvet Revolution, a series of non-violent demonstrations that toppled the authoritarian Communist regime in Czechoslovakia. Milos Jakes, right, shakes hands with Karel Urbanek who replaced him as the Communist party general secretary at a special session of its central committee in Prague on November 24, 1998.
