The article focuses on the socio-political developments in the Czech Republic. The lack of interest in politics can perhaps be seen in the very process that brought forty years of Communist rule to an end in this country. Politicians, paralyzed by their own ideologies and internal politics, became so utterly removed from the populace that they finally became irrelevant. In the Czech Republic, there are a wide variety of diverse grassroots organizations. On the political left, one finds, Revo, a youth alliance with chapters in 31 countries. Czech democracy is still young, and thus can perhaps be expected to grow noisier as it matures.
