What has remained from the old dissidents? I have some respect for Michnik and great respect for Solzhenitsin and Zynoviev. Not for Sakharov and the othe rone who emmigrated in Israel and becam a hard liner of bestial Zionism, I forgot his name.
He used to be much more credible about 20 years ago. Since that time he has made some fatal mistakes and diverted from opinions of the majority of Czech people, unfortunately. I personaly have respect to what he did before 1989 but as a president and politician he gradually was loosing part of his common sense otherwise he could not invent the term "humanitarian bombardment" to apologize the unlawful act of bombarding civilians targets in Yugoslavia by the US in 1999.

I agree with you. I also can respect the ante1989 Vaclav Havel. He semed to fight for democracy and freedom. The post1989 havel proved to be an imperialist puppet. It would have been better for him to die in 1989...
At first, you are probably not know well oriented in the Kosovo problems and the circumstances which accompanied the split of former YU. Mass murders were more on the Albanian site (UCK), this conflict was unwisely interpreted in a biased way.
Second, even if we admitt the fault was just on the Serbian side (which was not the case anyway), how can you justify bombardment of innocent civilians in hospitals or travellers on regular train connection. Think a little.

Before he became a politcian he was much more respected. But his deeds later did not confirm his former credibility. He is a kind of clown character today, as you say, unfortunately. What a shame!
Obviously propaganda works great and no wonder because people who are responsible for this had to spend hours and hours in class to master this subject ,as we know from the past propaganda is the best way to manipulate the masses-therefor Fascist,Bolseviks and Americans left their footprint for the next stage of development-so how could I resist to watch this video and didnt admire to this man if I would be 23 and didnt get another source of information than the mainstream is.
And dont forget about the Lisbon treaty everybody especially you people from my simple czech crowd, the spectacular day that all of you waiting on with a big passion in your eyes like wee naive kids on Christmas just rolling in and you'll get it all dont worry if you want to be booted out then there's nothing easier than give you hand with that but problem remains the others going to get the same portion of shite like many times before-Fascist, Bolsheviks and today Fascist again-hm good stuff
@SuicidalScissor- Well , least we've got crowds of homeless people ,junkies and all the fascist mob back as well,country that is totally riped apart ,government full of traitors and some czech folk who obviously is a bunch of foreigners in their own republic, so I would save my hate there's no problem with that at all but you should save your words then and don't waste them on something like the comment below because you realy know fuck all about what we have to get through today- OK!
VChapaev, "all Czechs" did NOT mourn him, speak for yourself! What have *you* done for the CR? No, you'd prefer to rot in the stinking warmth of socialism, I guess you didn't have any problems with your ancestry. If you are Czech, I'm ashamed of you.
petralailso, you're right, notice who's writing the poor comments on Havel. Slaviccommie? I guess the name speaks for itself. Havel is one of my heroes, even though he didn't prove himself to be the "perfect" "polititian".
VChapaev, get your medicine. Quoting Pujmanova? Are you joking? Whom are you parroting? I'm afraid you'll have to get used to it, and bury your Red Book six feet deep. LUCKILY, also thanks to Havel, we've got the freedom - of speech, too. So that you can publish your bullshit to YouTube, and I can say that I disagree. Isn't it wonderful? :-)
"terrorizintg Czechs and Slovaks". I'm afraid you confused Havel with the SNB and STB! XD
Vaclav Havel is one of the most influetial and respected intelectuals of the 20th century. And it's for a good reason - try to look for his articles, books, plays, ... . We are very lucky that we had such a president. Unfortunately, his greatness was in Czech Rep. shadowed by inside-political issues (the easiest way is to blame the one on top). In Czech lang. we can say that he is "beautiful human being" (meaning: in the inside, in his mind). Wanna proof? Don't rely on discussions like this :)

Maybe he deserves some respect for what he did before 1989. However, I believe that our peoples did not want capitalism, they wanted a democratic socialiam. In this sense all the leaders of Eastern Europe betrayed their peoples.

What else can be expected from ageing Zionist puppet Havel than attacking Russia? This moron was on the CIA payroll from the 1970s and still is via channel of M. Allbright - Czech-born jew and former U.S. diplomat. This asshole secured imunity for the whole communist government after 1989 while visiting Israel as a first country after being elected president. This pathetic figure is loved by manipulated western mass media, intelectuals and marxists but hated by majority of the Czech people.
I could nearly touch him from like 2 metres distance when he was @ our med faculty in the auditorium meeting the students during our 1-week strike in 1989.. later, lucky me I sat in his living room with Olga his late wife during an interview that Ben & I were doing with Olga.. pity Vaclav wasn't at home!!
Heroes often look unassuming, but here he is. The man who withstood for 5 years of the worst most sophisticated torments the Soviet Union had to inflict upon the virtuous and innocent. He survived some of the worst evil in the world of the 1980's and retained a balanced but firmly gentle personality to help lead his country in the aftermath of Soviet Evil.
May this mans contribution to history be remembered amidst this new wave of authoritarian madness. My best wishes to a historical giant!

He shadowed his "greatness" himself, especially by some very unwise and fatal wong decision and deeds later.
It does not mean I still do not respect him as a disident until 1989.

Hey You people, try to ask what Havel ever did for Czechoslovakian people. Except huge amnesty which caused about 50 dead innocents.
Havel is SHAME of Czechoslovakia, I am so glad he isn't Slovak.
Gustáv Husák was (and forever will be ) Slovak!
Havel spent 5 weak years in prison?
Husák was Communist and spent 10 years in worst Slovakian prison "Leopoldov" and been tortured everyday by not-true Communists.
Havel is shit.
