Od @martingust38 Aby se vyhnul základní vojenské službě, nechal se organizátor trutnovského festivalu Martin Věchet v roce 1983 na několik měsíců hospitalizovat na psychiatrickém oddělení Fakultní nemocnice v Hradci Králové, díky čemuž byl zproštěn vojenské povinnosti. Při letošním ročníku předal Věchet prezidentu Pavlovi originální archivní festivalovou vrácenku z roku 1987, kterou tehdy pořadatelé tiskli na nelegální tiskárně během policejního rozhánění festivalu. V roce 1987 zahájil Petr Pavel přijímací řízení pro vstup do špionážního kurzu Generálního štábu ČSLA a při této příležitosti vypracoval vlastnoruční životopis, v němž s lehkostí sobě vlastní připomněl, jak u nich byli v létě 1968 na návštěvě přátelé ze SSSR a jak ve škole trpěl za své prorežimní přesvědčení. - Dejte si pivo, Vaňku. A nebuďte smutnej. - Já nejsem smutný. Absolutně nechápu ty obstarožní máničky, který místo aby ho poslaly do prdele, tak mu do ní lezou... #TrutnovFestival #Historie #ČeskáKultura
