Historian Michal Stehlík talked about crimes under communist regime. He mentioned current reflection of communist regime in the Czech Republic. Mr. Stehlík finds it insufficient as the Communist Party is still in the Parliament. He then talked about two types of crimes. We can see the first one in 1950s when the regime wanted to frighten off committed by the regime in 1950s had two purposes to frighten the people off to prevent from resistance under threat of execution. The second one was in 1970s when people where pushed to stay away from protesting under the threat of jail, but not execution no more.
