Fortunately Gajary did not undergo different negative changes in last
30 years. Lot of villages have improved their external looks and
people live in comfortable, healthy houses. People have changed their
small houses into big stone building. The desire of each inhabitant is
to live in his or her own house.

The
biggest changes appeared after the World War II. when the Communist
party took control. That was the start of socialism in Czechoslovakia

In
1949 was established Incorporated agricultural association in Gajary,
That meant every farmer had to enter into this association. Those who
did not scant their properties and their works in association, were
declared as an enemy. Majority of them were also punished. After
several years of wickedness the association started to flourish.
People started to work on their own land. This brought the village to
prosperity. After the Velvet revolution in 1989 everything has
changed. The association had some problems and people moved to bigger
town. The year 2003 was acclaimed as a total collapse of Incorporated
agricultural association in Gajary. .
