| 18 | Jaroslav Hašek (opens in a new tab) | Wikipedia (sv) | Short but informative article. There are some inaccuracies, the most serious being the claim that Hašek took part in the October Revolution (7 November 1917) as a political commissioner. The fact is that he joined the Czech social democrats in March 1918 and the Red Army only later that year. |

| 27 | Jaroslav Hašek (opens in a new tab) | Wikipedia (es) | This article contains a number of inaccuracies and errors (and a few typos):<ul> <li>Hašek was dismissed from the bank not because of drink as claimed, but because he twice took unauthorised leave.</li> <li>The claim that Hašek went to live in the brothel U Valšů after splitting from his wife in 1912 is wrong. He stayed with various friends until getting drafted in February 1915.</li><li>Hašek didn't enlist voluntarily as claimed. This confusion surely derives from the fact that he was a one-year volunteer, a term that can easily be misunderstood.</li><li>Nonsense about his time in Russia 1917/18: <i>Released(?), he joined the Bolsheviks and in parallel(?) got involved with the Czech Legions</i>.</li><li>More errors: <i>Back in Prague in 1920 he started to get involved in politics, more than ever guided by his communist and nationalist ideas.</i> After returning home he withdrew from politics altogether, started to write Švejk and returned to his former lifestyle.</li><li>The article claims that Hašek started to publish Švejk from 1920 onwards; it should be 1921.</li><li>It claims that the Švejk stories from before the war are lost (they are not).</li></ul> |
