Taras Shevchenko was imprisoned in 1847 for writing in Ukrainian and advocating Ukrainian independence. Of the 47 years of his life, Shevchenko spent 24 years as a serf, 9 years at liberty, 10 years in exile and 4 years under police surveillance.

“When I am dead, bury me In my beloved Ukraine, My tomb upon a grave mound high Amid the spreading plain, So that the fields, the boundless steppes, The Dnieper's plunging shore My eyes could see, my ears could hear The mighty river roar.
When from Ukraine the Dnieper bears Into the deep blue sea The blood of foes… then will I leave These hills and fertile fields -- I'll leave them all and fly away To the abode of God, And then I'll pray…. But until that day I know nothing of God.
Oh bury me, then rise ye up And break your heavy chains And water with the tyrants' blood The freedom you have gained. And in the great new family, The family of the free, With softly spoken, kindly word Remember also me.”

An amazing two hours full of dancing, singing, recitations, including a knowledge competition for children and adults about the works of Ukrainian K. H. Borovsky, poet and national awakener. How would our children and adults fare in a test of their knowledge of the works of the Czech Taras Shevchenko? He has had a statue in Kinsky Square since 2010. When will we also commemorate the still relevant legacy of K. H. B. - not only with his statues?! JŠ (Full Article in Czech)

"Liberty and good government alone is the cause of prosperity and growth, and namely that part and aspect of liberty which leads to this, that every man should, if possible, work for himself, and keep the whole proceeds of his own exertions for himself, and not live idle."
K. H. Borovsky

Updated 8.4.2024: The judicial Palermo in Ostrava is being exposed more and more - the fight of the citizens against the criminal state continues !
***
I received a rejection of the lawsuit filed against Col. NCOZ (National Centre for the Fight against Organized Crime) Mgr. Bc. Jaromír Šigut and his wife Martina Šigutová - Resolution of the judge of OS Opava JUDr. Tereza Kravalová (7.3.2024) - PART I + PART II + PART III. PART. I understand that the police officer has the protection of the state and denied my right to judicial protection and a fair trial.
The police officer and the prosecutor covered up his criminal activity while he was on probation so he would not go to jail, and they covered up his connection to Colonel Šigut and the GIBS (General Inspectorate of Security Forces). I'm horrified by all this. I am enclosing a not very good copy of an excerpt from the criminal file of P. Bogdalik and his methods. Ostrava Palermo is apt.

The film BRATŘI rightly won. It is a world rarity that it did not receive any other award. The director Tomáš Mašín did not appear on stage, but the Czech Television cancelled two of his projects and he is out of a job - another world rarity, or rather Czech...
Nothing but another hidden revenge of the totalitarianism's minions. Calling on the Oscar winner to end her performance was a demonstration of Czech plebeianism - see the incredible babbling of the author of the call. Equally shameful and embarrassing was the calling of Jiřina Bohdalová a "national monument" by Mark Eben. He was far from the refinement expected in such a solemn act - he did not even apologise...
Kristýna Roháčková, a film publicist for the Czech Radio, praised the scandalous film ÚSVIT, which should have been sent to the Oscars instead of BRATŘI because it supposedly lacked a deep, topical idea? What could be more topical today than the fight for freedom against a criminal system through the example of brave young men? Are women going to join the army in equal numbers, in the name of equality, and men pushing prams? By the way, the term "pigeon nation" describes our nature well, but in a different way than most suspect. It arose from the ancient penchant of the Czechs for eating pigeons, when they were literally killed "en masse". We dared to eat pigeons, just like the defenceless Czech Germans after 1945... By the way, the lion never lived on the territory of our country. We can still only dream about its qualities of "fighting like a lion"...
That's why we have an army that has never defended its territory, surrendered weapons to the enemy or directly collaborated with them in the last 100 years. Therefore, let us not be surprised at the present conditions in the country - they are only the logical consequence of the crooked character of the past, when the country was ruled by crooked characters, as it is today.

We've known each other for years in courtrooms. I consider him to be a reporter of whom there will never be enough, although in the current Czech Republic nothing can be ruled out. In his work behind the scenes, he cannot always behave in a "model" way if he is to get as close as possible to the truth, which is necessarily real on the ground.
He cites "health reasons" as the reason for his departure? I'm afraid the real reason may be his investigative reporting against the Russians and their assets on Czech soil. There is now a classic media silence after his departure, just as after Mark Wollner's departure from the Czech Television's Reporters. Nora Fridrichová remains at CT (the public has not learned the details of the case). By the way, her former husband Milan Fridrich studied in St. Petersburg at the end of the totalitarian era. For a possible explanation, I recommend the link below - Russia has always worked and is working in the long term. Unless we start to address the real causes, the powerful will still be able to play their games at the expense of our country, regardless of whether they live in Russia or in our country. JŠ

34 years after the revolution. It's desperately late. But it's never too late if the mistake can be corrected. November will be over when we outlaw the Communists. We owe it to our ancestors. To all those who did not betray. In Prague, 17 November 2023 Martin Mejstřík, Jaromír Štětina
The 34th anniversary of the November Revolution has passed. This year we are facing a round anniversary, the thirty-fifth. I have decided to make one more attempt to truly complete our revolution, i.e. to enforce the ban on the promotion of communism, as my colleague Štětina and I attempted to do in 2006 and 2008.
Attached you will find an appeal addressed to all MPs and Senators. We would like to offer our parliamentarians a paragraphed version of an amendment to the Criminal Code that would outlaw the promotion of communism (including symbols of communism).
What is before us is to persuade the legislators to pass such a law. And thus complete what we wanted and expected in 89/90. For this reason, you will find under our appeal (following on deliberately from the one organised years ago by my colleague Štětina) the subtitle "When will November end".
Thank you for your support and good wishes.
Martin Mejstřík
Leader of the university students in 1989 and Senator (2002-2008)

It is indicative of the state of Czech society that the petition has been signed by 335 people to date, 66 of them anonymously, i.e. 20%?! With the exception of former senators Ján Horník, Martin Mejstřík and Jaromír Štětina, no politician and no well-known public figure, who are assumed not to need to conceal their name? It is as if values and valuable people have completely disappeared from our society. It will always be about the honest work and courage of the individual, regardless of his or her position in society. Those who are unable to deal properly with their past will inevitably be reminded of it in the future with all the deserved consequences and repercussions. JŠ
