I'm sure most of you are now saying "who?"
Vaclav Havel was the first non-communist president of Czechoslovakia after decades of Soviet occupation and, despite his attempts to keep the country together, later was the president of the Czech Republic.
He was also a very strong anti-communist in the nation and was also one of the co-leaders of the Velvet Revolution.
He, and his followers, were able to change the entire government in their country with protests and political sway. Not one shot was fired and no one was killed (there were some injuries during the "revolution", though).
