This chapter describes the transition of state propaganda in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic toward the government communication in the post-social- ist, liberal-democratic Czech Republic. Historical analysis maps this transi- tion from the socialist period (1948-1989), including the "perestroika" stage in 1987, the "Velvet Revolution" in 1989, the 1990s transitioning phase, and the modern period until 2021.
The author argues that despite major political and societal shifts, the transition from communist state propaganda to gov- ernment communication did not occur-neither naturally nor fully. It is an ongoing process.
This analysis addresses the sociopolitical heritage as well as current trends that hinder the process.
