He was a dissident, counting the sins of the StB. Now he has received the Fucik Award from the Communists
During the communist regime, Stanislav Novotný was active in dissent, after the revolution he co-founded the Office for Documentation and Investigation of StB Activities, and in the 1990s he headed the Czech police for two years. He then underwent an evolution of opinion, the latest fruit of which is the Julius Fučík Award for Fidelity to the Traditions of Progressive Journalism, which he received at an event organised by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. His infoweb has been listed as a disinformation website in previous years.
