Zatčení a odsouzení Pravomila Raichla v SSSR
The arrest and conviction of Pravomil Raichl in the USSR

Summary/Abstract: A book by Jaroslav Čvančara describing in detail the extraordinary life story of Pravomil Raichl, who took part in the resistance to both the Nazi and Communist totalitarian regimes, came out at the end of 2017. A few months after its publication the NKVD file on him and two others, Petr Pis and Andrej Lisý, with whom he decided to escape to Soviet territory in August 1940, was discovered in the Ukrainian archives. The file contains numerous interesting facts that further illuminate this previously less mapped but undoubtedly important chapter in Raichl’s troubled life. At the same time the documents, produced by Soviet security agencies, allow for a more accurate or in some cases revised view of some facts that Raichl later presented in his memoirs.
