Lída Rakušanová: When Nightmares Become Reality

Following the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia Lída Rakušanová went into exile and worked for Radio Free Europe in Munich. Today listeners of the Czech Radio station Plus can hear her commentaries on the programme Názory a argument (Opinions and Arguments). She has now written and recorded a book of memoirs Svobodná v Evropě (Free in Europe). With Ivan Štern, David Bartoň, Ivan Binar and Jefim Fištejn she will discuss not just Radio Free Europe but also the contemporary situation, including the nightmare that is the war on Ukraine.
