Tatiana Baeva, one of the eight incredibly brave people who protested on Red Square in Moscow against the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, has died at the age of 77. RIP.

Veteran @bbcworldservice and @RFERL journalist Petr Brod was a fantastic interviewee. Our talk took in everything from his Jewish family moving to a Munich that was also home to Sudeten German ex-Nazis to being a "sounding board" for friend Karel Kryl.

The next edition of In Conversation With... at the Václav Havel Library @KnihovnaVH will focus on the present and future of translating from Czech to English. We have a great panel for Thursday's discussion, which should be illuminating! Admission is free, all welcome.

A "new virtual Czechoslovakia, which the quasi-media scene is constructing, is built almost exclusively on politicians who share some sympathy towards the current Russian regime," writes @vojber in this insightful piece. And quasi-media is a useful term.

My latest interview is with Pavla Niklová. We discuss her own background and her career in NYC, where I first met her, and back in Prague, where she now heads the Jewish Museum. “Of course security is something that is special with the Jewish Museum.”

Pathé News report on the funeral of Jan Palach, who died on this day in 1969 at the age of 20. These images from Palach's funeral are IMO some of the most powerful and moving from modern Czech history. 🕯️
