"Frankly, my opinion is that if we managed to move the Sudeten Germans out of here because they wanted to establish the millennial imperium here, no matter if they were guilty or not, we moved them anyway. So I don’t know how we should have dealt with people who were saying: ´For ever and never otherwise with the Soviet Union, ´ shouldn’t have those been displaced as well? Or those who hurt the others etc?"

"The boy ran in, of course, and unyoked the horses before I got to the garden. I had to go to his backyard, because somebody put the joists on his backyard by mistake. I asked him what that is supposed to mean and he told me: ´If your father got four years in Jachymov prison, I will arrange eight years for you.´ He really shouldn’t have said that. There used to be a fence 170 centimeters high, but I haven’t seen that anymore. If someone would tell me today: ´Hey, Slava, jump over it´, I wouldn’t know how, but back then all I focused on was the boy. As I was approaching toward him he prepared a crop that he held with the metal part pointing out on me and got ready. But I couldn’t stop anymore. He smashed the crop and by some coincidence I managed to grab it. He didn’t want to let go so I dragged him down on his knees, took his crop, broke it into four pieces and beat him up with it. Of course he was bleeding, because I didn’t have mercy. Then his wife appeared there and started to throw the wooden logs on me. I stood up and started to chase her too, because I was being furious. She ran into the village and began to shout: ´Volny tried to kill the chairman of the LPG, help.´ And it didn’t take too long, of course, before the police came. All kinds of different units came. They started to question who and how...I felt the pressure from allover me. For a while it really looked like they will give me eight years in prison. But one of the officers suggested: ´If you leave the village, we’ll forget about the whole case.´"

"So all of my acting like you could read about in here started in the period of time when my father has been arrested in 1952. After he came back from the Jachymov prison and told me about how they treated him there... my father has been arrested by Gestapo (The former secret state police - translation’s note) already in1939 in Petchkarna. And when he told me that they didn’t treated him here as bad as in Jachymov prison, something really grew inside of me. That’s why every since that I felt an aversion against the regime. When someone introduced himself on behalf of the regime it was like you would try to scare me with a devil. It just was there inside of me. From that time I never did anything right for them. I won’t tell you all the things I used to do, because some of it it’s really nasty. When I realized how they have twisted the paragraphs during the Mr. Hučín trial in 1967 and in 1976 and so on, I didn’t like it a bit, because I knew, they might use the same paragraphs against me also even today. So I still better keep certain things to myself. We can’t be hundred percent sure yet, that we got rid of the Bolshevik."

"Among others I also said that I don’t want the Soviet army here, that I don’t wish for them to be here with us and those, who want them here shall take them in their homes and shall go to work to support them themselves. I also suggested that to prevent the boredom while staying in their homes, they shall let them fuck their own wives. And that was just the moment when the prosecutor yelled at the secretary: ´Do not write down about the accused intention to displease us.´ so I guess I was displeasing not only the Russians, but also Mr. Prosecutor."
