    "We were supposed to leave for home on August 21. And I went to order tickets at the station. As it was in Prague, well, of course there were a lot of Russians there. There was no transport, but I managed to get a bus. I got a bus, I packed up my group, which was almost thirty people, thirty pensioners. We got on the bus with our suitcases. We arrived at the station. The station was occupied by Russian soldiers. Poor guys, they were dirty and small, with machine guns. And those Prague hooligans were teasing them. And there was noise at the station. Every now and then a machine-gun shot. The glass... the glass ceiling in the station was falling down and so on. But I managed to get all those pensioners on the train. We sat down to go. And now I'm looking, someone is missing. Tyšler, the joker, he was missing. So I went to the station to look for him. He was involved with those Prague hooligans. And the Russians arrested the hooligans and put them in a room at the station. I'm looking in there and, my God, there's my man Tyšler sitting there with the Prague hooligans. So I rushed in and suddenly a soldier with a machine gun. Fortunately, I knew Russian well, so I said to him: 'Gdě vaš komandir? Eto moj čelovek, mi dolžny pojechať domoj.' So he brought this Russian commander in, I told him, and he just let Tyšler go"

    "I led a group of pensioners from the Hnojník forestry plant, I was commissioned, and there was a trip to Prague planned. So we arrived in Prague on about the 19th or 18th. We stayed there, walked around the sights like we had planned. Well, one visit was to a pub called U Fleků. So we were at U Fleků and of course there was drinking. Black beer and so on. That was on the 21st of August. We were all leaving and my wife and her friend stayed there. We had one of these foresters, he was a terrible prankster. Bearded and like, he took no shit from anyone, he was a joker. And he got drunk and his wife got drunk. And my wife couldn't get him home. We all left. I was pissed. We went to check in and the my was gone. So I went to bed and finally my wife woke me up and said: 'Listen Vláďa, the Russians have arrived.' I thought I was going to beat her. I said, 'Well, you've been drinking at the U Fleků with Mrs. Tyšler all this time, and finally you come to tell me that the Russians have arrived.' And she said, 'No, the manager of this hostel sent me to wake you up.' And the Russians have arrived... Look, there were already tanks rumbling under us, as we were staying at the Lenin street."

    "I had a problem at school with joining a Pioneer troop. My wife was already a model Pioneer, and I still wasn't. I was a Scout and one day I came to school and saw that the lockers we had in the Scout clubhouse were suddenly in the school. So the Communists abolished Scouting, and I will never forgot that till the day I die. So that relationship with the people's democratic establishment was very bad for me. I had a problem with it even afterwards in that forestry school and so on, but it didn't affect my life very much. However, I became very disillusioned with it."
