We rule, do not disturb
Audiobook Rule, Do Not Disturb: The Opposition Treaty and its legacy. Author Erik Tabery describes the political developments since the end of 1997.
The book version of this audiobook dates back to 2006, but even after all these years it is still an inspiration and perhaps the time gap adds to its value.
According to opinion polls at the time, three-quarters of Czechs found domestic politics incomprehensible. This book attempts to show when and where people lost politics. What role did the main actors Miloš Zeman, Václav Klaus or Václav Havel play, or what specific events took place. The main focus is on the controversial pact between ODS and ČSSD, which provoked the most violent public reaction since 1989, when squares were filled again, petitions were written and coalitions formed against the opposition agreement.
The chapters are written in such a way that they can be listened to independently, which makes it easier for the listener to review. However, the meaning lies precisely in the awareness of the interconnectedness of all events, the consequences or continuation of which we may only today read about in the newspapers.

Ivan Trojan
Although he came from an acting family, his greatest passion was basketball. Unfortunately (or unfortunately) his height limited him so much that he gave up his sporting career and enrolled at DAMU. After graduating, he settled at the Realist Theatre until the Revolution. After 1989 he worked at the Vinohrady Theatre, then accepted a position at the Dejvice Theatre, where he became a leading actor. Due to his exceptional acting, he has also been cast in film roles. Among the best known are One Hand Does Not Clap, The Loners, Václav and Medvídek. Apart from acting, he is also cast in dubbing, thanks to his flawless and very refined speech and characteristic voice. He is one of the best and busiest Czech actors today. He has lent his voice to a number of audiobooks, such as the book The Abandoned Company by journalist Erik Tabery.
