Do you want to once again welcome the third millennium and relive the last two years of Václav Havel's presidency, a hundred-thousand-strong demonstration on Wenceslas Square during the television crisis and the tragicomic broadcast of the so-called "bobovize"? Are you interested in how Prime Minister Stanislav Gross "honestly meant it", where he got the money for his new apartment and what was the content of Kubice's report, which enraged many MPs? Do you remember why Prime Minister Jiří Paroubek, known as Bulldozer, had CzechTec dispersed in Mlýnec in the Tachovsk Region and why he was such a close friend of the carousels from the Matěj pilgrimage? And how was it possible that the banks still lent millions to so-called related clients, and when they went bankrupt, the customers' debts were partially repaid by the state, while the clients of the bankrupt estates got away with it? The book documenting the beginning of the third millennium is a free continuation of the publication Taková byla 90. leta, which was published by the EMPRESA MEDIA publishing house in 2016. The work of the same creative team documents more than 300 stories from the era of 2000 to 2010 and, in addition to hundreds of quotations from the periodical press, it also includes pictures of the best photojournalists of the TÝDEN news magazine, not printed anywhere. It may seem to readers that not enough time has passed since the era described to deserve such a representative publication. But the pulse of the times has a furious speed, and even now it is good to remember why, for example, so many Czech politicians associated with the murdered mobster František Mrázek or how cheaply the shares of the OKD mining company were sold through the National Property Fund.
