Description	The end of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia in 1989 has opened the thorny question of how to deal with the communist legacy. This paper focuses on important aspects of decommunization at the beginning of the 1990s and analyses the role they played in the disintegration of the Civic Forum and in the emergence of the Civic Democratic Party.
