Thirty years ago, an admirer of Václav Havel expressed his appreciation of the dissident playwright on his 53rd birthday by submitting a glowing tribute to the birthday greetings section of the Czechoslovak Communist Party official paper Rudé Právo. (Thread)
2/7 The admirer, a young man called Petr Rýgr, knew that the paper wouldn't accept the tribute if he used Havel's real name, so he substituted the name "Ferdinand Vaněk", though he did use a real photo of the playwright.
3/7 Anyone familiar with Havel's work knew that "Ferdinand Vaněk" was a character who appears in several of his plays as a stand-in for Havel himself. But the Rudé Právo employee who accepted the birthday tribute was clearly unaware of this.
