Miroslav Kusý

Miroslav Kusý (born 1 December 1931 in Bratislava) is a Slovak political scientist and politician. Described as a "dissident" of Czechoslovakia's communist regime,[1] he was given an eight-month suspended sentence in November 1989 for an anti-government protest.[2] After the Velvet Revolution, Kusý was appointed as chairman of the Federal Press and Information Office of Czechoslovakia.[3]

After politics, Kusý became a professor in political science.[4]
