As someone who`s been following this novel series for years, I have to stress this Vaclav Havel wasn`t named after the former Czechoslovakian politician. It was a mere coincidence : )

Aye, he ruled Czechoslovakia as last president in 1989-1992 right after fell of communism and push out of occupants and then ruled Czech Republic in 1993-2003 after broke up of Czechoslovakia. One of the greatest mans my motherland had.

I am surprised that Canadian ever heard of Czechoslovakia nor someone as important as him. Most of the westerners don't even know that something like Europe exists.

I may be Canadian by legal document because I lived here for 9 years, but I was born and raised in Chisinau, Moldova, and my blood runs through Romania and Kyrgyzstan.
I am as European as you are ~
