Eda Kriseová, Part 2: People hate Havel for his morality
Update: 2020-03-02
Description
Writer and former dissident Eda Kriseová worked closely with Václav Havel
during his first few years as president. She headed Prague Castle’s
Complaints and Pardons Department, then inundated with letters from Czechs
who felt for the first time in decades that they could appeal to somebody
in authority. Kriseová, who wrote the only authorised biography of Havel,
even gave interviews as a kind of stand-in for the much in-demand democracy
leader.
