Summary/Abstract: I think what was tragic in my life, was that – in fact completely unexpectedly and illogically – I was admitted to the university, but then I was not allowed to do the work I was trained for. My past played a big role in this. Certainly, you cannot blame politics for everything, there are pretty irrational selection mechanisms within the profession itself as well (…) But my past, regardless of this, has determined my life. And what is strange about all this is that I don’t even really consider myself a “fi ft ysix-er”, but rather a victim of an irrational dictatorship, who was once caught by the system – who knows for what reasons and interests. I did not do anything signifi cant, someone else could have been caught instead, but it was me it had caught.
