Timeline

1922

Miloš Jakeš (12 August 1922 – 10 July 2020) was a Czech communist politician.

1937

He grew up in a poor village family in the Bohemian Forest borderlands before working in Bata Shoes factory in Zlín between 1937 and 1950.

He joined the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia soon after World War II, triggering his steady rise within the party ranks.

1955

In 1955 he began his studies at Moscow's Party's Higher College and, after obtaining his degree in 1958, his career continued without interruption, undisturbed even during the 1968 Prague Spring period.

After the Soviet invasion, Jakeš became one of the main initiators of the political purges carried out in the name of "normalization".

1987

He was General Secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia from 1987 until 1989.

Following the ouster of Gustáv Husák at a dramatic party meeting in December 1987, Jakeš was nominated for the position of General Secretary by the competing factions within the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.

Following his rise to power, Jakeš began to promote himself as a supporter of glasnost and perestroika.

Yet, despite the Communist Party's attempt to appease the public's demands for reform, Jakeš remained staunchly opposed to any dialogue with the growing opposition movement in the country.

Even when the Velvet Revolution broke out, Jakeš refused to consider any serious talks with the opposition.

Events soon overtook him, and on 24 November he resigned along with the party's entire Presidium.

The Communists officially abandoned power four days later.

As General Secretary Jakeš used the first name Miloš.

During the trial it was revealed that his actual name is Milouš.

Jakeš gained unwanted infamy through his famous speech addressed to local party workers in Červený Hrádek close to Plzeň.

When speaking about the necessity of Gorbachev-inspired "perestroika", he presented himself and the party as a lonely pole plank being allegedly left alone to overcome the hardships.

On the same occasion he mistook the word Broiler (type of chicken) for boiler and spoke in an embarrassingly familiar way about some Czech pop music singers when pointing to their allegedly super-high incomes ("None of us earns so much!").

His speech had been recorded by a journalist from Czech television who managed to secretly make a copy of the tape.

1989

He resigned from his position in late November 1989, amid the Velvet Revolution.

Jakeš was born in České Chalupy, now part of Nová Ves near České Budějovice.

The recording was frequently copied among the people in the summer of 1989 and afterwards.

Jakeš lived in Prague as an ordinary pensioner and was a frequent guest at Communist rallies after the revolution.

He wrote a book Dva roky generálním tajemníkem (Two years as the General Secretary), in which he compared the forty-year-long Communist rule of Czechoslovakia to the Hussite period in the nation's history.

2020

Jakeš died on 10 July 2020, at the age of 97.
