Given Hasek's age he would have been impacted by the 1968 invasion, and an event like this invasion likely triggers some harsh animosity towards Russians.
What he is suggesting can not realistically happen. There are those from Russia who clearly do not support the actions of their home country. But the primal urge to be frustrated and think that more can be done to put internal pressure on Russia to back off is hard for me to fault on someone who lived thru Soviet influence in his youth.
