		Spinning out fantastic plans for a hotel and entertainment complex on Vitkov hill, which the press dubbed “the Czech Disneyland,” Cekan meanwhile rented the monument to friends and associates for gala private parties.
		Meanwhile, curator and cultural critic Josef Kroutvor, author of an important polemic on the failings of Czech society and many essays on the bygone glories of Prague, shared with me his opinion that the building is fundamentally a precocious experiment in totalitarian architecture.
		The decision to memorialize the Red Army at the monument deliberately reversed a decision made prior to the coup of 1948 to commemorate Czech fighter pilots, who were now faulted for having flown their missions in the skies over capitalist England rather than communist Russia.

	Tales of an Absent Monument by Matthew S. Witkovsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The original concept dates to the 1870s, when Bohemian patriots called for a statue on Vitkov Hill to commemorate the Hussite warrrior Jan Zizka, who won a strategic victory there in 1420 against a largely non-Czech crusading force.
		Nevertheless, plans are afoot once more to “revive Vitkov Hill.” As the new steward of the site, the National Museum is saddled with the task of finding sponsorship for what will doubtless be a multimillion-dollar renovation.
		At the other end of the spectrum is the daydreaming Vitkov Citizens’ Association, which plans to enter the competition with a project to turn both the monument and the surrounding park into a vast, ever-changing exposition devoted to the world’s totalitarian regimes.

	Jan Zizka
		The hill, on which the statue is located is often mistakenly called Zizkov, but the right name is Vitkov Hill, named after the victory in the battle of Vitkov in the year 1420.
		Probably the best view over Prague can be found on top of the Vitkov Hill, but apparently, the hill as well as the statue are off limits to visitors because the park is completely unattended.

		In 1410, he fought on the Polish side in the battle of Tannenburg and was on the winning side, as evidenced by the defeat of the Teutonic Knights there.
