Tragická mise kurýrů Rudolfa Fuksy a Jiřího Hejny
The tragic mission of the couriers Rudolf Fuksa and Jiří Hejna

Summary/Abstract: One of the most typical and obvious activities of the anti-communist “third” resistance was the work carried out by couriers (“agent-couriers” in State Security terminology). These people crossed the borders between the free and unfree world in order to fulfil a whole range of dangerous tasks, particularly tasks connected with intelligence gathering. They were people who had various motives for working with Western intelligence services (besides patriotic reasons, they could also have had material incentives). Among the hundreds of people involved in this activity, we can find the names of two young men, Rudolf Fuksa and Jiří Hejna, who paid the highest possible price for their decision to take a stand against communist power. Their first mission as couriers was also to be their last.
