Eliminate: Dubcek

I really want Imre Nagy to win:
he lost his life,
he tried to pull out of the Warsaw Pact,
it was far more difficult to cut links with Moscow in 1956 than in 1968,
he was courageous all along, until the end.

Imre Nagy, the Survivor !

BTW, it was a very fine and interesting survivor, thanks to all of you, to your regular votes and to smooth, respectful and clever debates.
I enjoyed it.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Expected, but biased final 2. Gorbachev and Jaruzelski already did something positive, and those tow were a failures

Dubcek, bigger failure to go

NAGY FOR SURVIVOR!

[Хahar 🤔]

Dubček

[Hash]

Eliminate: Dubcek

[Hans-im-Glück]

Nagy

Alexander Dubček is my Survivor. Nagy was very good too, but in Prag they want to create somethig new.

[Edu]

Dubcek

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Alexander Dubcek.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Nagy

Dubcek was a better fighter.

[big bad fab]

Bump.

Currently, Nagy is the Survivor (6-2).
But you still can vote !
Come on, guys !
It's the final !

Alexander Dubcek
Of course, Nagy was a hero, but Dubcek avoided the fate of Hungary in 1956. And with his non-violent resistance did much for the undermining of communism.

GMantis, you have to vote for the leader you want to ELIMINATE.

Am I right if I understand you want Ducek to win ?

Sorry. Yes, I want him to win and I vote for Imre Nagy.

OK, guys, all our regular voters have cast their votes and this final has lasted more than 24 hours, so...
it's over !

Dubcek was a brilliant fighter, he had good friends, but....


sometimes he lost, especially with some "fatal kisses":


So, hail for our Survivor, Imre Nagy:


And it's fair that our Survivor is the one who lost his life for having tried to do some little things for his people:


Thanks to you all for your regular votes, for our interesting debates, for some suspense (not in our final, but in the order in which our leaders were ousted).

I think homogeneous survivors, with all people from the same "category", from the same ideology especially, are better, because there is less partisan hacking or parochialism.
And survivors from the past.
That's why Kalwejt's Stalin inner circle is a very good idea (I hate you ! )...

And don't forget to vote in my 20th century history makers survivor !
And try also Hashemite's 20th century French heads of the executive survivor...
