"They (Soviets) were hard enough. There were Ukraine partisans... The Russians caught one of them, he was begging noto be shot, but got simply executed by a machine gun without mercy."
„Then we hanged a flag on the house, where we lived in Místek, and the Germans started coming back. So we thought: ‚Damn! As soon as they see a Czechoslovak flag, it will go bad.‘ But somehow it was all right.“
Lubomír Kuběnský-Rapax was born on May 29, 1930. His family was related to A. Kubínský, a famous organiser of Frýdecko-Místecko scouting activities. After WW2 he joined the 3rd scouting unit in Místek. In 1947 he took part in Jamboree of peace, which took place in France. During cancelling scouting units by the totalitarian regime he participated in distributing anti-communist leaflets together with other friends from scouting group Termites. Due to this activity he was arrested in May 1948 and put in prison at the regional court in Ostrava. Several weeks later he was released, but tried only later in the next year. Lubomír Kuběnský-Rapax also participated in organising scouting as the second and third renewal in Místek, mainly as a chronicler of the centre of 8th infantry regiment in Místek. In 1992 he was awarded the Order of Scout gratitude. He died on 1 April, 2013.
