Uneasiness about a Witness in the Role of Arbiter

Summary/Abstract: In this contribution, Vilém Prečan, a co-editor of the three-volume Charta 77: Dokumenty 1977–1989 (Prague, 2007), the complete edition of Charter 77 documents, responds to individual factual objections made by Petr Uhl. Prečan rejects the accusation that the commentary and footnotes to the documents are unreliable, and objects that Uhl puts forward no conceptual or methodological argument in support of his claim, merely a dispute over the details, in which his memory alone serves as his incontrovertible argument.
