Immigrants Speak Week 11: Katerina from Czech: I Thought Communism Was Done But It Is Back

Katerina was born in Prague in the Czechoslovakian socialist republic. She studied at the Prague College of Economics. Then she briefly worked for a bank and later for Circus Art Agency negotiating contracts for artists and acrobats.

Like thousands of others, Katerina took part in the Velvet Revolution in 1989 and saw the fall of the communist regime. Katerina was twenty-five at the time. It was an unforgettable and exhilarating experience.

Katerina taught ballroom dancing and successfully competed as a professional dancer representing the USA for almost twenty years. Her “day job” today is teaching the Czech language to English speakers and English to Czech speakers and also interpreting and translating.

Today we discuss with Katerina her life back in Czechoslovakia under the communist rule, and her concerns for today's USA as she observes the ghost of communism reviving here and looming on the horizon. #communism #czechoslovakia #CRT #Marxism
