    "Have you ever been to Wenceslas Square in November 1989?" - "I was there. There was a procession from CKD, which was organized by my friend at the time. And we were at Václavák and then there was the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs, as his name was... So I was there during the demonstration that was at Václavák, We went from Vysočany to Václavák."

    "On August 21, 1968 I was woken up at night and my friends called that we were being occupied. And we opened the window and heard the planes roaring. And they were already here. Then I saw tanks heading for Prague in Kbely. Well, it was terrible. It was such a shock to people who still believed in communism here, so I think they had to make up their minds then that it's all a kind of political scam."
