Czechs Today | All stories

The fall of communism twelve years ago affected people in different ways. Some believe they have lost their old securities, some feel threatened by rising crime or the world around them getting ever more complicated.

She exchanged the tedium of office work for what had been her hobby since childhood. Vladka is a collector of pretty much everything related to clothes and fashion.
