Young Czechoslovak students waving contry flags, gather 17 December 1989 during a protest rally in front of mounted statue of St. Wenceslas and National Museum at Wenceslas Square in Prague in support of Vaclav Havel for presidency. The statue base includes inscription: "Saint Wenceslas, duke of the Czech land, prince of ours, do not let perish us nor our descendants". Czechoslovak students were asking for more democracy, demanding the end of Communist rule and free multiparty elections. A strong dissident protest movement led to the fall of communism 10 December and the formation of a non-Communist government in Czechoslovakia, 10 days after the beginning of a summit in Malta where Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and US counterpart George Bush set a new era, ending the Cold War. The Communist Party capitulated (in the bloodless "Velvet Revolution") and formed a coalition government with the Civic Forum, and Havel was elected president 29 December 1989.
