Valerij Doležal

* 1949

  • „Tam bolo také místo ako tu u Mléčného baru, u Medvídka se tomu říkalo a tam sme boli všichni. Ale já byl vpředu. Ten vyskočil z takovýho malýho tanku. Takej malej ale jarej, natáhla zbraň: ‚Snímaj plagát!' A já sem mněl strach, já sem byl stuhnutej od strachu. Však to neni sranda. Na rohu hned byla lekárna a ty baby z té lékarny to videli a s kyblama, handrama a zmetákama na nich šli. A to zabralo. To neni jeden jedinej případ, kterí takto fungoval. Zachránili mě né, že sem to já, ale že jsou to oni."

  • „Ja som zabudol povedať, že ona dostala vilu. Konfiškát - obrovskú vilu v peknej štvrti v Brne v Černovicích so záhradou, so všetkým možným. Ale to už boli 50 roky a ona sa asi potentovala, pustila do nohavíc. Lebo tam sa likvidovali, tí straníci, medzi sebou. Tak ona urobila podľa nej rozumný, podľa mňa úplne šialený krok, že tú vilu dala k dispozícii na zriadenie jaslí. A my sme dostali dvojizbový byt v Brne, čo sa nedá zrovnať s tou vilou. A ona išla bývať do jednoizbového pavlačového domu v Kopečnej ulici v starom Brne. Tá musela mať strach, tej muselo takto cvakať, že toto ona opustila. “

  • “My father's mother took her small children and went to the bare steppe in Central Asia. By the way, there was also the family of Alexander Dubcek and Julius Fucik. There she raised them and founded a union cooperative. When they founded it, it was all their personal property. They got the land and so on, but that was all. There was nothing else. Of course, I can't remember that, because I still wasn't born back then. Allegedly, it was very hard there. My father grew up there. My mother came directly from Leningrad, from an aristocratic family. My grandfather was a sea captain or an admiral. I have never seen him in my life, I have not met him. The maternal grandmother was a dentist. ”
