Vaclav Havel was the most advanced politician because
his guidance in his work and life was always a moral imperative
rather than narrowly understood political viability.
The fact that the people of Czechoslovakia elected Vaclav
Havel in 1989 their president characterizes first of all the
thinking of the people and their realization that such person
should head the country in the moment of abrupt changes. Such
a coincidence is rare in history, that is why the example
of Vaclav Havel is most valuable for the world. His performance
in the historic stage does not end today, on the very day
when his death has become another cause for assertion of his
principles.
I am transferring my sincere condolences to Vaclav Havels
wife, his friends, next of kin and all the Czech people.
Sincerely,
Grigory Yavlinsky
