Ecological Protests in Teplice in November 1989: Causes of Public Activis
Menclová, Vendula ; Gjuričová, Adéla (advisor) ; Rádková, Adéla (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the ecological protests that took place between 11th and 13th November in Teplice in November 1989 and their temporal and regional context. The Teplice demonstrations represent an exceptional phenomenon in the pre-November development of Czechoslovakia. It was the first ever manifestation of the dissatisfaction of the population of the then North Bohemian Region with the ecological situation, especially air pollution, with the concealment of information about the state of the environment and thus with the regime itself. On the basis of a comparative analysis of archival sources, the press and interviews with witnesses, the thesis attempts to formulate the causes and factors that spurred the civic activity that eventually grew into the November strikes in Teplice, even though the persistent atmospheric pollution affected the entire North Bohemian region, especially in the 1980 s.
