 Ferdinand Peroutka: Journalist of Czech Democracy - 18-04-2003 - Radio Prague
"Ferdinand Peroutka was a liberal writer who really didn't serve any political party or group of people but rather the interests of the state, and he considered democracy and the rule of law to be the basic values that a decent journalist should support in his work."
Peroutka was one of the first of the Czech intellectuals to be put in a Nazi concentration camp in 1939, and then two years later they brought him back to Prague and made him an offer to become editor-in-chief of his own newspapers.
Peroutka was, I think, disappointed with the behavior of the Czechs in exile because there everybody quarreled with each other.

Ferdinand Peroutka, born on 6 February 1895 in Prague, made his first mark as an academic student at Královské Vinohrady by writing for miscellaneous magazines, including Čas.
Thanks to Peroutka's creative writing and meticulous choice of collabrators, Přítomnost emerged as a leading Czech political magazine, whose standards have yet to be surpassed.
The essays by Ferdinand Peroutka culminated in his "Democratic Manifesto." Here, the personal link between the author and his work becomes even more organic and intimate than in his previous efforts.

The Protestant nobility, refusing to recognize Emperor Ferdinand II, chose the Calvinist Elector Frederick V as their king (1619).
This rebellion was overthrown at the battle of the White Mountain, 8 Nov., 1620, and the Bohemian nation by the foolhardiness and stubbornness of its nobles was shorn of its independence.
The victorious Ferdinand began to enforce the existing motto of the Reformation: Cuius regio illius religio.

 CHAPTER VIII
This is rendered easier by the fact that Czechoslovakia has experienced in the 20th century alone a series of similar decisive social changes: the establishment of the independent Republic in 1918, the occupation by Nazi Germany in 1938, the communist coup in 1948, the Soviet occupation in 1968, and finally the "revolution" in 1989.
Ferdinand Peroutka points to the profound difference between the pro-Austrian opportunism of part of the Czech politicians in 1917 and the strong anti-Austrian opportunism of the same politicians in 1918.
Ferdinand Peroutka refers to it in detail when he describes the unrestrainable onslaught of the professional parties after the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic and the vain struggle of the national democratic party to maintain its ideological principles in politics.

One of those present was Ferdinand Peroutka, a prominent Czech journalist and former associate of Tomas Masaryk, the founder and first president of democratic Czechoslovakia.
Peroutka compared the tyrants of 1951 to ancient tyrants -- unfavorably.
The first part of Peroutka's prophetic boast in the 1951 pioneer broadcast -- that the spoken word would make communists uneasy -- proved to be true over and over again.

An outstanding Czech democrat, Peroutka was in a position to speak for the victims of totalitarianism.
And one such is the historian E. Hobsbawm, almost a caricature of the thin, bespectacled forger of ideas whose role Peroutka evoked so powerfully from personal experience.

 Death in Prague | TIME
But when the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia, Political Editor Ferdinand Peroutka, along with other staffers who opposed the Nazis, was thrown into concentration camp.
Shortly after, Peroutka escaped from Czechoslovakia, hidden in a furniture van, and made his way to the U.S. The Reds continued to purge staff members, and last week eliminated the "twelve letters" completely.
The Lidove Noviny was closed because it "was not keeping pace with the expanding and manifold cultural life of Czechoslovakia." In its place the Reds began to publish a faithful imitation of Moscow's Literary Gazette.

 Central Europe Review - Book Review: The Coasts of Bohemia
For Sayer, the artists and writers of Prague's leftist avant-garde provided the main alternative to this dangerously narrow conception; only to have their laudably cosmopolitan and enthusiastically eclectic version of Czechness self-destruct in the clashes occasioned by the Moscow Trials.
These are valid points of view, but Sayer could have supplemented them with more discussion of the pragmatic, centrist liberalism embodied in figures such as Masaryk, Čapek, and the interwar journalist Ferdinand Peroutka.
They make frequent, brief appearances on the coastlines of Bohemia, but they do not get the same sustained treatment that is given to figures such as the artists Alfons Mucha, and Karel Teige or the historian Zdeněk Nejedlý.

I didn't contribute to the ODS programme in any specific way apart from working with the preparatory committee chaired by Josef Zieleniec, an ODS deputy chairman who later became minister of foreign affairs in the 1992 ODS-led government, where I often and actively took part in discussions.
Of course, I welcomed the emergence of the ODS: at last the party Čapek and Peroutka had waited for in vain had been formed, a party of the Czech liberal bourgeoisie.
It is good for the Czech political system that such a party exists and I hope it will soon overcome the crisis it is currently in.
