„Legalizace“ poručíka Ludvíka Zifčáka. Hloubková akce správy Státní bezpečnosti Praha v prostředí vnitřního nepřítele
“Legalisation” of lieutenant Ludvík Zifčák

Summary/Abstract: Ludvík Zifčák joined the State Security agency in 1982. He later worked his way up to becoming an active officer. Through a number of fateful coincidences, he ended up playing an important role in the collapse of the communist regime, which he still regrets to this day. As a provocateur using the false identity of a “student” called “Růžička,” he hung around with opposition-minded students, whose leader he wanted to become. He also stood at the front of the demonstration march held on 17 November 1989. That was when he played his “fateful role” as the “dead student Martin Šmíd,” which substantially accelerated the course of events, even if they went in a direction that Zifčák had not anticipated. Study includes a detailed view of the circles Zifčák moved in, his activities, and the system in which the State Security agency operated.
