I'm a Slovak. And when I was growing up, I believed that I was Czechoslovakian because of what Russia did. They came in and took two separate countries - Slovakia and the Czech Republic - put them together as one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I still speak Czech with my parents because I was born there.
My parents were of the generation who thought they were the children of a free Czechoslovakia, the only democracy in central Europe.
If I hadn't left Czechoslovakia, I would have been dead.
My mum was born in the former Czechoslovakia, and even though my grandparents weren't wealthy, they were aristocrats in their time.
Although I don't examine myself in this respect, I would say, off the top of my head, that I've come to acknowledge my Czechness more as I get older.
When my father was born, it was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. When I was born, it was Lithuania. When I left, it was Hungary. It is difficult to say where I come from.
In Czechoslovakia in 1968, communist reformers appealed to democratic ideals that were deeply rooted in the country's pre-second world war past.
Well, it's the Czech Republic now, but more specifically Prague. I went there when I was 12.
I went to an English school and was brought up in English. So I don't feel Czech.
I have always thought of myself as a Czechoslovak Catholic.
