From The Power of the Powerless to Broken Czechoslovakian Dreams

Vaclav Havel, the Czech statesman, author, poet, playwright, and former dissident who became the President wrote the essay "The Power of the Powerless". An essay I had never heard of until I felt that totalitarianism was making a play for my country.

It was partially the inspiration for setting up Cafe Locked Out, and so when I meet someone from Czechoslovakia it's a real treat, but Yana's story is not a celebration of a regime torn down in favour of freedom, but rather a warning for us all.
