#velvetrevolution 35 years ago was a Tuesday. Strike activity has spread from Prague to almost all universities in Czechoslovakia. The co-ordination centre was at DAMU - the Theatre Faculty of the APA. In contrast, the state was mobilising the army and 4000 civil militias were deployed in Prague.

#velvetrevolution 35 years ago was a Sunday. Two key civic entities were established which would lead the reform process - the Občanské fórum (OF) in Prague and Verejnosť proti násiliu (VPN) in Bratislava. Acronyms straight out of the 2020s though.

#velvetrevolution 35 years ago was a Saturday. University students in Prague resolved to enter a week-long strike, in response to the forceful repression of civic protests during the preceding day. The text of the resolution is interesting: A general strike was identified as a key tactic.
