As he aged, Kutil wrote that he increasingly appreciated the significance of Václav Havel for the Czech Republic. He acknowledged that Havel had flaws and there were things to criticize him for, but he also described him as a charismatic personality who retained his humanity. He identified Havel's appearance in the American Congress as the strongest memory, after which there was a long applause. He perceived Havel as a person who, at the time of the country's return to freedom, had an authority independent of the position he held and was someone the country needed at that time. #VáclavHavel #českáhistorie #osobnosti (translated)
