"One of the last giants of the victory over the Soviet Union at the end of the cold war has left us. Vaclav Havel, the author of the “Velvet Revolution” in the former Czechoslovakia in later 1989 that overthrew the Soviet-backed communist regime without a shot being fired, has passed away after a long illness, at 75 years old.
Godspeed, Mr. Havel. You taught us that freedom matters, and that it succeeds over totalitarianism when those who love freedom do not succumb to despair. “Thank you” seems entirely insufficient."

Vaclav Havel was both a political and an intellectual hero.
