OK let's be specific.
http://prfdec.natur.cuni.cz:8080/cgi/search?Carnogursky
gives 3 names, one of them Ivan Carnogursky, "among the
best-known heavy-construction engineers in the world",
according to Bachelor Frajkor, is known under codename
"Inzinier" in as StB secret collaborator:
Carnogursky Andrej 280338 10859 Pepo D
Carnogursky Ivan 270533 20275 Inzinier T
Carnogursky Pavol 220108 21 Pavol A
There was no positive result for the search with the name
Nedomansky, but:
http://prfdec.natur.cuni.cz:8080/cgi/search?Stastny
gives 108 names, from which I selected:
Stastny Anton 070642 14401 Revizor T
Stastny Peter 190941 13772 Fortuna T
The Stastnys metnioned by Bachelor Frajkor could be StB secret
collaborators - the only task to complete here is to check the
birthdates of the famous Czechoslovak hockey players.
Sorry as I am, Bachelor Frajkor has once again missed the point
raised by Zuzana Gimerska who formulated her statement in a rather
prudent way, saying SHE does not know anybody in HER surrounding
who was allowed to travel to a stage to Free World without being
a communist and that she found many names of such people in StB
listings.
StB listings are on http://www.natur.cuni.cz/~uhlik/, thanks to
Mr. Uhlik from Charles University in Prague. Since then, there
are more servers offering a search with diacritics, search in
database of StB agents coupled with the database of registered
entreprises in Czech Republic, showing how the StB agents
penetrated the economy. In Slovakia, this would not be possible,
as the business register records are kept secret, lustration
law violated and StB agents found even in the government.
Bachelor Frajkor is an ass. professor at School of Journalism,
Carleton University, Ottawa. He routinely defends the darkest
figures on the Slovak political scene, communists, StB agents,
ambassadors in Canada who were both high-ranked communists and
StB collaborators, while he is labeling other people as
"bolsheviks". Bachelor Frajkor is the head of editorial board
of Kanadsky Slovak, an unimpressive, struggling tabloid with
a pronounced fascizoid orientation. Bachelor Frajkor does not
even speak Slovak.
