Pavel Wonka was a political prisoner of the communist régime in Czechoslovakia. In 1992, the Lidove Noviny dailies published a story, including a testimony by a former communist secret police collaborator, who described in detail Wonka's cooperation with the secret police in the 1980s. The story caused a stir among public since Wonka, who had died in prison in 1988, had - until then - been considered a man of integrity, an opponent and fighter against the communist regime. Wonka's original, hand-written commitment to the collaboration was published later. Ever since his case has never been discussed in public. Twenty years have passed and Wonka's name appeared in the names of street and a bridge in various Czech towns. This year, the Czech president Zeman even bestowed a state decoration to him in memoriam.
