„Rudolf Zeman would always bring me a copy, as I had access to a copy machine in the International Students Union. And first I made ten and later fifty pieces out of a single copy as he wished. It was quite dangerous as the copy machine was in a hallway of Jakeš´office or at the head of the Union, Skála, right in front of his office. So I had to wait until they left, but once it happened that I needed to go multiply the papers and Skála was still there and not leaving. So I was quite cheeky and took an economic table and kept it on top of the whole file I was copying. And he got out and said: ‚What are you copying here?‘ ‚Well just some tables, I am bored with those.‘ And all through the talking I was scared he would not lift up the top paper and see the real stuff, Lidové noviny, underneath it...“

„Sometime in March 1988 Rudolf Zeman said, that they have a printer, who cannot do the job anymore and if we could print it out. Pavel Reinigr and I, a friend from Bonapart. Well and I said yes, and I got to say, I was totally happy to have a good feeling about doing some good at last. Pavel Rychetský got me the copy machine then, who worked as a lawyer for SBD Pokrok. And we got it to our house. But there were two kids there, so we had to hide it. So that they would not ask: ,What is that?‘, we put cushions on top of it in a shelf. Once a month we took it out and could print. The papers had 25 pages and the models were quarters of A3 format full of articles. They were actually cut out and stuck on hardened paper. And Jan Ruml was carrying those in a bag or a rucksack to a flat in Roztyly leaving it with a lady, whose name I´ve already forgotten, just left it there in a cupboard amongst pots. Then I already knew I can go inside, so that we didn’t meet up, and there was no relation.“
