How it ended, as its article says
Replaced by Czech and Slovak Federative Republic, 1990-04. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
In April 1990, shortly after the Velvet Revolution, the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic was renamed to the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic.

Rulers
The leaders of its ruling party, read from English Wikipedia, List of de facto rulers of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, revision 1376701851 - the line the atlas measures; its formal heads of state are listed with the government below.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antonín Novotný | 1953 – 1968 | 15 years | ending not on record | |
| Alexander Dubček | 1968 – 1969 | 1 year | deposed, the article saysread from the ruler's own article | |
| Gustáv Husák | 1969 – 1987 | 18 years | ending not on record | |
| Miloš Jakeš | 1987 – 1989 | 2 years | resigned or stood down, the article saysread from the ruler's own article | |
| Karel Urbánek | 1989 – 1989 | under a year | ending not on record |
5 rulers, 5 with terms dated as terms, covering 1953 – 1989. Only 36 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 1 of 4 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 2 causes the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
