The Anticharter (Czech/Slovak: Anticharta or officially, Za nové tvůrčí činy ve jménu socialismu a míru / Za nové tvorivé činy v mene socializmu a mieru [For New Creative Actions in the Name of Socialism and Peace]) was the 1977 reaction of the Communist Czechoslovak ruling power under Gustáv Husák, combined with a signature campaign by prominent cultural figures, condemning Charter 77, a civic initiative drawn up by Václav Havel and Pavel Kohout, among others, in 1976.
