abstract
  • Ludvík Svoboda (25 November 1895 – 20 September 1981) was an Czechoslovak general and politician who served as the 6th President of Czechoslovakia from 1968 until 1975. Regarded as a national hero, he fought in World War I, served in the Czechoslovak Legion during the Russian Civil War and was a four-star general in the Czechoslovak Army during World War II. After the war he served as Minister of Defence and as Chief of the General Staff. A "Draft Svoboda" movement, supported by the Republican Party, the Social Democrats and the Christian Democratic Czechoslovak and Slovak People's Parties, persuaded him to declare his candidacy in the 1968 presidential election to counter the candidacy of Communist Gustáv Husák. In the first direct presidential election he won a landslide with 63.7 percent of the vote, and was reelected in 1973. Being a national hero he was immensely popular with the people, and enjoyed a close releationship with Social Democratic Prime Minister Alexander Dubček. Leaving office in 1975 due to illness, Svoboda held a approval rating of seventy-eight percent, thus leaving office as one of the most popular presidents in the modern era.
