    The first picture is in fact Girolamo Savonarola.

    The second guy is John Bonham, the drummer of Led Zeppelin.

    I demand two reps. But krste deserves the floor.

    That's right. Tuka was a professor, ardent Slovak nationalist, radical fascist, prime-minister of the German protectorate and a war-criminal, largely responsible for the Jewish Holocaust in Slovakia.
