It is necessary to reconsider the focus of the ÚDV's activities: Interview with the director of the ÚDV, Dalimil Sypták

Summary/Abstract: The article features an interview with Dalimil Sypták, the newly appointed director of the Office for the Documentation and Investigation of Crimes of Communism (ÚDV), who assumed the role on August 1, 2024. Sypták, a lawyer with extensive experience in criminal investigations, emphasizes the need to reevaluate ÚDV's focus to address the challenges of documenting and investigating crimes committed during the communist regime. His priorities include targeting severe historical cases, such as politically motivated murders and deaths at the Czechoslovak state borders, improving transparency in ÚDV’s communication, and enhancing public trust. Despite the unique difficulties associated with decades-old cases, including the lack of digital records and witnesses, Sypták advocates for methodical and systematic approaches to bring justice to the victims of the totalitarian regime. A strong proponent of interdisciplinary investigation, he highlights the importance of collaboration between legal, historical, and forensic experts. Sypták's vision includes publishing findings in comprehensive formats to promote public understanding while ensuring that unresolved cases are thoroughly addressed. His leadership style is marked by a commitment to professional excellence and accountability.
