    He was truly an inspiration and a national icon during the Eastern Europe,s dark days as well as a very humble and noble human being...The world needs more people like him...R.I.P Vaclav

    Sad to see a leader passing after doing great things and achieving much for his fellow countrymen/women. I'm sure the Czechs will miss him dearly.

    Mr Vaclav Havel was the last communist president of former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Communist parliament installs Mr Havel to the presidential chair for the first time. Since 1965 year Mr Havel has been recorded at the list of spies of communist secret police in the Czech town of Brno. Czech media declared record as a mistake but it is nonsense; records of communist secret police were exact. Mr Havel was seeded in a prison as a spy. Mr Havel did not ever want democracy; he asked just a dialogue with communist government in 1990 year. Mr Havel had been protected spies of secret communist police all the times. In 1998 year Mr Havel even tried uninstall democracy in the Czech Republic and publicly asked permit for activities just two political parties in the Czech Republic. From two political parties in a state is just a step to do permit for activity just for one political party. During unprepared common press conference in Prague with US President George W Bush Mr Havel was unable to give answer for any question and even was unable to say two words. Who said Mr Havel was a very clever and a democratic person?
