Economist, philosopher and writer Tomáš Sedláček takes over as head of Václav Havel Library 03/03/25
“I’m proud that I have been given the trust to develop and cultivate the legacy of Václav Havel and that I can join the Library’s great team. I intend to put all my energies into building a world-class platform that will face forward and be attractive to the new generation of people who care about the spirit of Europe. I would like to bring Havel-style optimism and values back to the public sphere. That is desperately needed right now, and that too is why I regard my new role as a major commitment,” Tomáš Sedláček said in connection with his appointment as director of the Vaclav Havel Library today.

Change in Library leadership 23/10/24
Today, Wednesday 23 October 2024, Milan Babík decided to resign from the post of director of the Václav Havel Library for personal reasons. The Board of Trustees have accepted his explanation with understanding: “Milan Babík has done a great deal of work. Since June, when he took over, he has succeeded in enriching the Library’s activities, including the launch of projects that should culminate in 2026 in connection with the 90th anniversary of Václav Havel’s birth,” said the chairman of the Board of Trustees, Gabriel Eichler. Until a successor to Milan Babík is chosen, the Board of Trustees, as the statutory body, will assume some of his responsibilities, working closely with the Václav Havel Library team.

Truth and love never rust 03/10/24
On the occasion of its 20th birthday, the Václav Havel Library is launching a new fundraising campaign. It aims to commemorate an important milestone in the VHL’s existence and to address new donors. The author of the communication concept TRUTH AND LOVE NEVER RUST is idea maker Martin Halaxa, while art director Jan Lesák is behind the graphic design. The campaign primarily draws on materials from the Library’s archive, which currently holds over 80,000 items. It is based on relatively little-known video footage of Václav Havel in various situations in his life, as well as images by photographers closely associated with him: Tomki Němec, Oldřich Škácha and Přemysl Fialka. The actor David Prachař has given his voice to the campaign, with musical accompaniment coming from the famous underground band Psí vojáci. More

- When: May 12, 2025, 19:00 – 21:00
Thirty-five years ago, the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet-Russian empire began to crumble and Czechs embarked on the road to freedom. What was the role of the Czech dissent and Charter 77 in this process? What were the greatest achievements, and mistakes, of the former dissidents who were in power during the transformation of the totalitarian state into a liberal democracy? How is Czech society coming to terms with the communist past? And how can the dissident experience inspire today’s opponents of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes? These questions have given rise to Disidenti u moci. Česká cesta ke svobodě a demokracii (Dissidents in Power: The Czech Path to Freedom and Democracy), a book of essays and interviews edited by historian and philosopher Petr Hlaváček and issued by the Bourdon publishing house.

Radomyr Mokryk: Ukraine and Russia – A Story of Cultural Colonisation?
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: May 19, 2025, 17:00 – 18:30
The conquest logic of the Putin regime is highly transparent and is based on a specific interpretation of history and culture. While statues of Lenin and Pushkin are being removed in Ukraine, in the West the belief that culture is not to blame for the war is spreading. How is culture actually being abused? What role do Soviet politics or historical concepts play in the war? What did the Ukrainian 20th century look like within the Soviet empire, and what were the aims of the Ukrainian dissent? These questions will be answered by the Ukrainian historian Radomyr Mokryk, who will introduce his book Příběh kulturní kolonizace: Ukrajina v sovětském impériu (The Story of Cultural Colonisation: Ukraine in the Soviet Empire).
Jáchym Topol will chair the discussion.

Homecomings: The Post-War Fates of Holocaust Survivors
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: May 19, 2025, 19:00 – 21:00
The cultural and historical memory of returning Holocaust survivors is a topic that links individual experiences and the broader geopolitical context.

The differences between returns to Greece and Czechoslovakia will be discussed on the basis of the books Homecoming: Holocaust Survivors and Greece, 1941-1946 by Kateřina Králová and Rozpolcená doba, rozptýlené životy (Divided Times, Scattered Lives) by Daniela Groll-Spenser. The authors will discuss their motivations and methodology and key issues, such as the plurality of Holocaust experiences and the importance of historical memory for the present day.
Moderated by Pavlína Šulcová, director of the Bubny Centre for Memory and Dialogue.

Jaroslav Spurný: Vrbětice – Russian Operation
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: May 20, 2025, 19:00 – 21:00
In the book Vrbětice: ruská operace, která změnila Česko (Vrbětice: the Russian Operation that Changed Czechia), Jaroslav Spurný, an investigative journalist with the weekly Respekt, tells the gripping story of journalists' search for the perpetrators of explosions at the Vrbětice ammunition depot. Based on facts and circumstantial evidence, the book links the 2014 attack by a Russian intelligence unit on Czech territory – which resulted in two casualties and huge material damage – to the Kremlin’s interest in clawing back influence in the former satellites of the former Soviet Union, including the Czech Republic. The author describes not only the domestic investigation of the Vrbětice case, but also the related activities of the GRU, Russia's military intelligence service, from the time of the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia to the present day.
The debate will be moderated by journalist Ondřej Kundra.

Circus Europe: Europe Between Trump and Putin
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: May 21, 2025, 19:00 – 21:00
Putin's Russia is waging a genocidal war against Ukraine, which it sees as a proxy conflict with Europe and the West. But under Donald Trump the United States of America – hitherto the leader of the free world – is now hostile to Europe while negotiating with Russia. The Trump administration has repeatedly attacked NATO and EU allies. Are we witnessing the end of the Western alliance? What might the future hold for Europe? What can we expect from the US and Russia? What role will China play? And what will this mean for the Czech Republic? Taking part in the debate will be political analyst Jiří Pehe, essayist and political commentator Tomáš Klvaňa and Johana Hovorková, editor-in-chief of news outlet FORUM 24.
Historian and philosopher Petr Hlaváček will moderate.
Circus Europe is a discussion series, prepared by Collegium Europaeum in cooperation with the Václav Havel Library, focused on current issues of the West, Europe and the Czech Republic in broader contexts and perspectives.

Vaculík’s A Czech Dreambook: A Critical Edition
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: May 22, 2025, 16:00 – 18:00
Ludvík Vaculík’s novel Český snář (A Czech Dreambook) is being published on the Česká knižnice imprint, with the new edition split into two volumes: the first contains a critical edition of the novel and accompanying texts focusing on A Czech Dreambook as a unique work of art; the second contains commentaries on contemporary realities, the development of the text and its reception and more. The publication has been prepared by Petr Šámal, Daniela Iwashita, Michal Kosák and Hana Kosáková, who will take part in the discussion. Literary historian and editor Michael Špirit and archivist Petr Kotyk will also speak as part of the evening’s programme, while Ondřej and Jan Vaculík, as well as those who lived through those times and served as models for the novel’s characters, will recall the circumstances of the work’s creation as well as the personality of its author. The evening, which will explore the complex history of the text of A Czech Dreambook, will be helmed by Jáchym Topol.

The Free Academy: Rony Plesl
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: May 22, 2025, 19:00 – 21:00
Design should be appealing – but art should rip your guts ou
This academic-style lecture, which I have never presented publicly before, is based on my many years of experience in both sculpture and design. It focuses on the difference between designers who create for industry and artists whose work is primarily driven by their own conscience. - Rony Plesl
Rony Plesl (1965) is a major Czech artist, sculptor, designer and teacher. His work is utterly unique in the field of both free art and design. Rather than confronting contemporary trends, he follows impulses from various artistic disciplines, literature and film. He explores the limits of fused glass sculpture, deliberately treating it as a conventional sculptural medium.

Launch N: The Human Dimension
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: May 26, 2025, 19:00 – 21:00
We cordially invite you to the launch of Lidský rozměr (The Human Dimension), a book of interviews by Karolína Klinková, a journalist with the newspaper Deník N. Her thoughtful questions symbolically discard seemingly banal truths about life and ask with sincere curiosity – how to be a human being in the 21st century, with all the familial, social and psychological roles that go with that? The “baptism” of the book and subsequent discussion with the author will be helmed by Vítek Svoboda, while anthropologist Marie Heřmanová will also be a guest.

Are We Facing an Economic Nuclear Winter?
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: May 27, 2025, 19:00 – 21:00
Plain insanity, or a well-thought-out approach that can have positive consequences for the US and the democratic world? Is the Trump administration’s economic policy built on long-outdated concepts? What does the world’s reaction tell us about the current position of the US within it? Can the US defeat the entire world economically? The new reality six months after the election of Donald Trump will be discussed by Miroslav Singer, former governor of the Czech National Bank; Alexandr Vondra, former minister of foreign affairs of the Czech Republic and ambassador to the USA and current MEP; and Martin Ehl, chief analyst with Hospodářské noviny. The discussion will be moderated by Matyáš Zrno, editor-in-chief of Aktuálně.cz
This debate kicks off the new series Aktuálně from the Library, run by the website Aktuálně.cz from the Economia publishing house.

"Václav Havel summoned me to his office and spoke to me briefly: 'You know more about Tibet and the Dalai Lama than I do, and you brought me the messenger with his letter. Nobody’s got any time here now, everybody’s busy, so make it happen," recalls Saša Neuman, the most qualified of the president's associates and co-author of Dalajláma – Havel – Praha 1990 (The Dalai Lama – Havel – Prague 1990), about preparations for the Dalai Lama’s first visit. He will present the book alongside photographer Stanislav Doležal, ethnologist Zuzana Ondomišiová, businesswoman Dagmar Havlová and writer Eda Kriseová.

New Biography of Václav and Kamila Benda
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00

The author Alice Horáčková has written Václav a Kamila Bendovi (Václav and Kamila Benda), a biography of Václav (1946–1999) and Kamila (1946) Benda, who were leading figures in the Czech dissent. In her history of one extraordinary relationship, she draws on archival documents, correspondence, texts from his estate and the recollections of friends, fellow prisoners and leading politicians. The evening will include a screening of video footage from 1978. At that time, Václav Benda, a doctor of philosophy and cyberneticist, was sweltering in a boiler room in Spálená St., having ideas for one of his greatest texts, Noční kádrový dotazník (The Night Cadre Questionnaire), and observing as the talented mathematician Kamila ran a household with five young children. The book’s protagonists Kamila Bendová, Jiří Gruntorád and Štěpán Benda will take part in a debate with the author.

Václav Havel European Dialogues
The Václav Havel European Dialogues is an international project that aims to initiate and stimulate a discussion about issues determining the direction of contemporary Europe while referring to the European spiritual legacy of Václav Havel. This idea takes its main inspiration from Václav Havel’s essay “Power of the Powerless”. More than other similarly focused projects, the Václav Havel European Dialogues aims to offer the “powerless” a platform to express themselves and in so doing to boost their position within Europe.
The Václav Havel European Dialogues is planned as a long-term project and involves cooperation with other organisations in various European cities. Individual meetings, which take the form of a conference, are targeted primarily at secondary and third-level students, as well as specialists and members of the public interested in European issues.

Havel - Albright Transatlantic Dialogues
Since the first Václav Havel Transatlantic Dialogues at GLOBSEC and FORUM 2000 conferences last year, we have lost another stalwart advocate of the transatlantic bond and of the need to face threats to democracy and international order together on both sides of the Atlantic, the former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. In view of the close bond between Václav Havel and Madeleine Albright and, after Havel's death, between the Secretary and the Library, the Václav Havel Library, with the approval of Madeleine Albright's family, renamed and rebranded the program as The Havel-Albright Transatlantic Dialogues (HATD), after the two major figures with roots in Central Europe who have personified the bond. Together, Václav Havel and Madeleine Albright symbolize the transatlantic relationship and the fundamental values underpinning it perhaps better than any other two people in recent history. The upcoming Dialogues “The Indispensable Woman: The Legacy of Madeleine K. Albright”, at the FORUM 2000 conference on September 1, and at the “Havel and our Crisis” conference at Colby College, ME, on September 28, will thus become venues for a well-deserved tribute to the pair we all respected and admired.

Havel in a nutshell
The virtual exhibition Václav Havel in a Nutshell places the life story of Václav Havel in the broader cultural and historic context in four chronologically distinct chapters with rich visual accompaniment. The exhibition is supplemented by the interactive map Flying the World with Václav Havel, which captures in physical form Havel’s global “footprint”.

Gallery of key figures of Oldřich Škácha
The Gallery of Key Figures of Oldřich Škácha presents unique and previously unknown photographs of Ludvík Vaculík, Jan Werich, Milan Kundera, Marta Kubišová and many other important personalities as an authentic and original source of knowledge about our modern history.

Vladimir Hanzel's revolution
Collage of recollections, images and sound recordings from Vladimír Hanzel, President Václav Havel’s personal secretary, bringing the feverish atmosphere of the Velvet Revolution to life.

Václav Havel Interviews
A database of all accessible interviews given to print media outlets by the dramatist, writer and political activist Václav Havel between the 1960s and 1989. The resulting collection documents the extraordinary life story of an individual, as well as capturing a specific picture of modern Czechoslovak history at a time when being a free-thinker was more likely to lead to jail than an official public post.

Pavel Juráček Archive
The Pavel Juráček Archive arose in February 2014 when his son Marek Juráček handed over six banana boxes and a typewriter case from his father’s estate to the Václav Havel Library. Thousands of pages of manuscripts, typescripts, photographs, documents and personal and official correspondence are gradually being classified and digitalised. The result of this work should be not only to map the life and work of one of the key figures of the New Wave of Czechoslovak film in the 1960s, but also to make his literary works accessible in the book series The Works of Pavel Juráček.
The aim of the Václav Havel Library is to ensure that Pavel Juráček finds a place in the broader cultural consciousness and to notionally build on the deep friendship he shared with Václav Havel. Soon after Juráček’s death in 1989 Havel said of him: “Pavel was a friend of mine whom I liked very much. He was one of the most sensitive and gentle people I have known – that’s why I cannot write more about him.”
