Velvet Revolution / 天鹅绒革命

Velvet Revolution / 天鹅绒革命 appears in 12.慢:当米兰·昆德拉一句正经没有 as the 1989 turning point after which the Czech entomologist in 《慢》 regains academic status, while Milan Kundera still does not simply return to Czech belonging.

The source uses the post-1989 contrast to make exile more complicated than a regime-change problem. Political liberalization can restore institutions and reputations, but it does not automatically repair home, privacy, memory, or the public image attached to a writer.
