Schirding palace, Kanka House, poster with portrait of Milada Horakova an

The photo of the November 17, 1989, events leading to the fall of communism in a window and a poster with a portrait of the Czech lawyer and democratic politician Milada Horakova and the inscription Murdered by Communists on the eve of the 70th anniversary of her execution by the communist regime after a show trial, above a window of Baroque Classicist Schirding palace (Kanka House) in Narodni street in Prague, Czech Republic, November 9, 2020. The bronze plaque shaped as hands showing the letter V symbolising victory was unveiled in memory of the students' demonstration on November 17, 1989, which was beaten up by the communist police. The most brutal clashes took place in the arcade. The event initiated the Velvet Revolution that removed the communist regime and opened the path to democratic changes in the former Czechoslovakia. The plaque was in 2016 removed to the facade from its arcade for safety reasons. (CTK Photo/Libor Sojka)
