This leader’s policies were critiqued by a manifesto titled “The Two Thousand Words” and involved a Constitutional Act that split his country into two federations. This Esperanto speaker brought in Ota Šik (“oh-tah shik”) and other political opponents of (*) Antonín Novotný to execute his “Action Programme.” A period instigated by this leader witnessed (10[1])the self-immolation of the student Jan Palach (“yawn pah-lock”) in Wenceslas Square.
