Winner of CPP 2011 Stanislav Krupar from Reflex magazine is explaining that although he systematically photographs all neo-Nazi provocateur activities, this time, to his great surprise, the neo-Nazis and the “cheaters” freeloading on social tension in Varnsdorf, were also joined by decent people and a ‘pogrom’ was about to happen. It was prevented in time by the police.
