	Gustav Husak - Czech history's forgotten man - 22-12-2004 - Radio Prague
		Gustav Husak was born in Bratislava in 1913.
		Vilem Precan first met Gustav Husak around this time and, as a young reform-minded historian, he was impressed by the older man's intellectual prowess and credentials as a former political prisoner.
		And Husak was this man. At that time the Soviets needed the Czechoslovak question to disappear from European politics and not be the open wound that it then was.

		Husak retained his seat on the eleven-member ruling Politburo, as well as the largely ceremonial job of President -- perquisites that would probably not have been accorded to a leader who, like his predecessor Alexander Dubcek, had been forced from office.
		Though Husak publicly gave no reason for bowing out, he is known to be suffering from failing eyesight.

		, pro-Soviet hard liners replaced him with Gustav Husak, whose Slovak credentials had been well established by a lengthy prison sentence in the 1950's for "nationalist deviation." During the Prague Spring, Husak had been a leading Slovak advocate of federalization and was, ironically, counted amongst the ranks of Prague Spring reformers.
		Indeed, Husak and other Slovak communists rationalized collaboration with the Soviet invaders as an "act of patriotism" that served the interests of the Slovak nation.
		Husak took this tact in his persecution of Czech Prague Spring reformers--many of whom were charged with not being sufficiently attentive to Slovak concerns or including Slovaks in reform planning.

		But it was also what the people of Ostrava knew, a kind of grim cushion that protected them from the vicissitudes of change, just as paralyzing emotional depression can be a cushion against the terror of acting.

	Artful Dodge - Original Interviews - Vaclav Havel
		In 1974, partly from malaise, he went to work for ten months in a local brewery, an experience which inspired the play The Audience (1975), in which he created the character, Ferdinand Vanek, who soon attained within Czech alternative culture a celebrity akin to that of Jaroslav Hasek's classic Good Soldier Svejk.
		Then, with the writing of his open letter to Dubcek's hardline successor as president, Gustav Husak, a document which circulated widely in samizdat, Havel again became openly and actively engaged in the political and cultural arena.
		For example, he helped found Charter 77, the Czechoslovak human rights organization that served as the focus of resistance to the communist regime until its demise in November 1989-but not before Havel had been sentenced for his activism to four and a half years in jail, of which he served all but a year.

		Today people who lived through the Prague Spring see it as a dream that was brutally destroyed by the Soviet empire, while the true motivations of the reformers are not questioned.

		This new government was named by Czechoslovak President Gustav Husak on December 10.
		The same evening, he went on television to announce his resignation, and the Civic Forum cancelled a general strike which had been scheduled for the next day.
