Abstract: Several factors explain the almost complete absence of drama on the Czech political scene: a relatively high standard of living, the pragmatism of the Communist leadership, and the sophisticated sobriety of their opponents reared in the tradition of democracy and its nonviolent methods of action. Within this framework some minor changes have already occurred and still may. Any sub stantial change in the Czechoslovak orientation continues to be severely limited by the hypnotizing effect of Soviet power, unmatched by the Western posture in the area.
