Graffiti on John Lennon wall in Prague cc0.photo

Some people also believe that the „John Lennon Peace Wall" helped inspire the non-violent Velvet Revolution that led to the fall of Communism in the former Czechoslovakia in 1989. In 1998 the wall had to go through reconstruction of its crumbling facade but the spirit of the wall lives on. It used to be covered in anti-Communist graffiti.. John Lennon never actually visited Prague, but his spirit (and face) is splattered all over this infamous wall. Following his assassination in 1980, an anonymous artist painted a portrait of the late singer-songwriter on this wall, and it quickly became a symbol of hope and resistance against the then-communist regime of Czechoslovakia.
