Václav Vlach was born on February 9, 1947 in the border town of Horní Vražné, in the district of Nový Jičín, where his parents Václav and Anna, née Krajčová, came already in June 1945. When he was two years old, they moved to Dolní Rudná. Here the family soon lost their acquired property. They farmed on fifty hectares, but since the grandfather and father did not want to join the JZD, but wanted to establish their own cooperative of owners, they were labeled as village rich people and lost everything. After the trial of the father and grandfather, who got away with almost one-year sentences, the family from Dolní Rudná was moved to Javůrka, in the district of Brno. During his father’s imprisonment, Václav lived with his grandmother Marie in Vranov nad Dyjí. But after my father’s return, they moved on. Father was often transferred from one state farm to another. Václav graduated from primary school in Červená Voda in Jesenice. They also lived in Ústí nad Orlicí and Předhradí in the Chrudim region. After elementary school, he entered the Forestry Vocational School in Svoboda nad Úpou in Podkrkonoší for two years. He then worked as a forest worker for two years at the Vysoké Chvojno Forest Plant and for a short time in Deštné in Orlické hory. Between 1967 and 1969, he increased his qualifications at the forestry master school in Vimperek in Šumava. After a five-year break in Vizovice in the first years of normalization, he then only worked at a sawmill in Rajnochovice. He retired as expedition master in 2006. In the years of the Velvet Revolution, he became a member of the Rajnochovcei cell of the Civic Forum.
