The method by which KSČ under Husák ruled was commonly summed up as "reluctant terror." It involved careful adherence to the Soviet Union's policy objectives and the use of what was perceived as the minimum amount of repression at home necessary to fulfill these objectives and prevent a return to Dubček-style reformism. As one result, the membership of the KSČ leadership has changed very little since 1971. The Sixteenth Party Congress in 1981 reelected the incumbent members of the Presidium and Secretariat and elevated one candidate memb ...

Proponents of laws banning these acts argue that this view excuses an "exit" from life entirely, or from one's responsibilities, which they believe to be immoral. That is, if a subway motorman commits suicide while on duty, and this lets the train crash and injures or kills ...
