Havel's name is once again reverberating in the pubs.

The article discusses the renewed resonance of Václav Havel's name in Czech society, particularly in light of ongoing debates surrounding the Klement Gottwald Library (KVH). Writer Jáchym Topol reflects on the significance of Havel's legacy, comparing him to historical figures like Jan Hus and Jan Palach. He emphasizes Havel's role as a dissident who fought against totalitarianism and his relevance today amid Russia's war in Ukraine. Topol notes that while many view Havel as an uncomfortable figure who demands resistance, others see his legacy as a source of inspiration. The discussion also touches on the current leadership of KVH and the legal ownership of the Havel name, though Topol states he has not encountered any barriers in his work at the institution.
