Milan Kundera, whose dissident writings in communist Czechoslovakia transformed him into an exiled satirist of totalitarianism, has died in Paris
Milan Kundera, the renowned but reclusive author whose dissident writings transformed him into an exiled satirist of totalitarianism and explorer of identity and the human condition, has died in Paris. He was 94.
Kundera died Tuesday afternoon, his long-standing publishing house Gallimard said in a one-sentence statement on Wednesday. It confirmed that he died in Paris, where he has lived for decades, but provided no further information.
The European Parliament held a moment of silence upon news of his passing. Kundera held both French and Czech nationality, which he lost and then regained.
Kundera was a man of few words whose novels were translated into dozens of languages, but he abhorred the publicity that came with it, refusing interviews.

Sorry to see an anti-Soviet warrior pass away. The world needs people like him right now.
I’m sure he wasn’t going around calling for the genocide of 150,000,000 Russians like you do.

I don’t want to see Russia conquered. I want it eradicated.

1. It is not a genocide to support the eradication of the Russian state any more than it was genocide to eradicate the Nazi regime.
2. I stand by my comment. The world will be a safer place with Putin dead and Russia dismantled and reduced to the rump state it should be.
That you wrote that post in the first place, madam, wishing the genocide of the Russian people, 150 million human beings, most of whom are good Christians — and that you continue to defend it — demonstrates a level of evil and darkness in your soul that should terrify you. Perhaps you’ve repudiated Christianity, as this would explain it, but as a Christian, I will tell you that this alone will keep you from inheriting the Kingdom of God. You need a serious examination of your own soul.
Think what you want.
