"That everyday turmoil was unthinkable or unimaginable until then. Although some people had warned that the Russian will not leave it like this. Everyone had such a strange euphoric idea. Then, everyone was talking about the socialism with a human face, which no one knew that three or four years would pass and socialism would show its animal face."

"The junior club started in 1981. Luboš Schmidtmajer returned from the war and found himself in the group of our friends, because the surrealist poet Josef Janda was his native, a fellow native of Příbram, and brought him to our society. He fantasized that he would start a club in Prague, which would be completely sensational, that bands would play there and there would be a theater and exhibitions. And we thought, just blather on the fantasy. And he really made it, and everything came true unbelievably. I talked about it a lot in those Fates [the show Fates of Czech Radio]. He was a master of positional warfare. Most of all, it was sensational to see punk people jumping at a concert there, and the day after that they were at Dr. Mráz's concert about art, taking notes in their notebooks. The next week they were at Gombrowicz's operetta HaDivadla. It accumulated well."
