Who did we think was the greatest friend of the Czech (then Czechoslovakian really) children and youth during the Soviet Union days?
Michael Jackson? :wink:
Seriously: Seifert? Husek? Martina Navratilova?
Don't understand the question. Is it a person? A Russian? Clues, clues.
Every Russian child knew him because he was always being introduced (in all them children's mags) to us as '...., the Czechoslovakian children's best friend". Now, if you know the Russian culture well, you'll guess who I'm talking about. The reason this post is here because the guy in question was .... no, I'm not telling you.
Святой Микулаш, yo.
I have no idea if I spelled that right.
Nope.Quote:

Excellent demonstration of a lack of cultural knowledge... The correct answer is Гурвенек - it is he who used to be the Czech kids' best friend. As you see, it has nothing to do with politics. Besides, the question was "of the Czech children and youth", not "of the Czechs". So I'm patting myself on the back this time as no one answered this one correctly. Pity. Great pity.Quote:

I've searched on the web about Гурвенек but can't find anything about him. Who was this guy?
Like I said, he was the Czech's youth best friend. And yes, he has a very low internet presence. But that's life for you - lotsa things you can't find on the internet, cos after all it's nothing but our corrupt societies' dumping ground.Quote:

First of all, his name is spelled Гурвинек
(Hurvinek - "i" should be with an acute accent).
For other information, I think this link sheds some light on it.
