„Sometime in March 1988 Rudolf Zeman said, that they have a printer, who cannot do the job anymore and if we could print it out. Pavel Reinigr and I, a friend from Bonapart. Well and I said yes, and I got to say, I was totally happy to have a good feeling about doing some good at last. Pavel Rychetský got me the copy machine then, who worked as a lawyer for SBD Pokrok. And we got it to our house. But there were two kids there, so we had to hide it. So that they would not ask: ,What is that?‘, we put cushions on top of it in a shelf. Once a month we took it out and could print. The papers had 25 pages and the models were quarters of A3 format full of articles. They were actually cut out and stuck on hardened paper. And Jan Ruml was carrying those in a bag or a rucksack to a flat in Roztyly leaving it with a lady, whose name I´ve already forgotten, just left it there in a cupboard amongst pots. Then I already knew I can go inside, so that we didn’t meet up, and there was no relation.“

„I felt very strongly about it as a young sensitive person of around twenty years of age, I thought if was terrible. Because I also felt quite hopeful. I was a lot into Literární listy and such magazines that were available. And at the time anything was readable. And then the breakthrough came, when they invaded us. Well and what took me most, was how kind people were to each other after invasion and they though the same. When I waited on a tram in Braník, and it was not going, the cars passing by would stop and drivers offered people to give them a ride. And then two years later all that was gone and all those people with goose stomachs began making their carriers. And climbing the backs of those, who could not stomach it, and that made me quite disgusted and I even conceived hatred for the nation as such.“
