Přísně tajné ostudy – Mareš Jaroslav V. (2024)

Our history is full of stories that their actors are not proud of. The more powerful these actors are, the deeper these stories are buried. How is it that in Chernobyl, the consequences of the nuclear disaster are openly shown to experts and tourists, while in Jaslovské Bohunice, filming is not allowed even in the information center due to another disaster? How thoroughly was the story swept under the rug in which the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia transformed into a terrorist organization just before February? Where did the mysterious American paratroopers go who "brutally attacked" a military unit on Mount Prague? How much did the federal Minister of the Interior believe in the existence of red mercury and the philosopher's stone that he was willing to raid a military airport because of it? Why did being elected as the bishop of Olomouc in the 16th century equate to a death sentence? How did the legendary London demon end up in the streets of Jičín and why did it steal underwear? A well-known Czech reporter seeks answers to these and other stories from our history.
