This is clear from his own writing (which was not published in communist Czechoslovakia). However, in early 1918 he moved closer to the Czech social democrats, probably influenced by Břerislav Hůla, a young communist who worked for the same paper as Hašek. But it is only from October 1918 that we worked directly for the Bolshevik authorities.jomar@honsi.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902672966131195274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593468044031864831.post-21528574972820499372012-07-06T17:26:28.818+02:002012-07-06T17:26:28.818+02:00I do agree with you: there is no sign Hasek was a ...I do agree with you: there is no sign Hasek was a bi-sexual. No prolem if he was,that is clear, but I do not think he was.<br /><br />And, reading him carefully, I don't think he was a comunist too. As far as I have read him, I think he hates comunists - but maybe thought that everything was better than the Czar.<br /><br />Anyway, these are just opinions.Tirana Callinghttp://www.tiranacalling.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593468044031864831.post-62749621136204579862010-06-14T12:34:29.160+02:002010-06-14T12:34:29.160+02:00Having debriefed Pavel Gan might be one of the mos...Having debriefed Pavel Gan might be one of the most important accomplishments of your journey. He has indeed contributed greatly to unraveling the myths surrounding Jaroslav Hašek's years in Russia. By the same token, I am not interested in any intimate, private details of other people's body functions and proclivities, including the sexual, with the exception of information needed to guard others, especially children, from sexual predators. <br /><br />While Pavel Gan believes Hašek was "hardly a true Bolshevik", I doubt he was an Anarchist, in the modern political sense, either. As for his political views and organizational associations, anarchism was just one of them. He was a keen observer of human affairs using his material as a newspaperman, entertainer, war correspondent, political outreach and propaganda writer (for ultimately irreconcilable parties to the WWI and Russian Civil War), among other things, and not an anarchist first and foremost.Zenny K.
