Karel Havlicek Borovsky & 2706 Borovsky Asteroid - Kromeriz, Czech Republic - Extraterrestrial Locations on Waymarking.com

Karel Havlícek Borovský lived and studied at the Gymnasium in Nemecký Brod (today Havlíckuv Brod), and his house on the main square is today the Havlícek Museum.
After failing to find a teacher's job in Bohemia, he left for Moscow becoming a tutor in a Russian teacher's family. He became a Russophile and a Pan-Slav.
After he returned to Bohemia in 1844, he used his writing skill to criticize the public habit of embracing everything written in the recently reborn Czech language.
The Revolution in the Austro-Bohemian portion of the Habsburg monarchy was defeated in March 1849 with dissolution of the Kromeríž assembly, but Havlícek continued to criticize the new regime.
Against the law he was arrested by the police on the night of December 16, 1851, and forced into exile in Brixen, Austria (present-day Italy).
He died from tuberculosis, aged 35. Božena Nemcová put a crown of thorns on his head in the coffin. His funeral was attended by a procession of about 5,000 Czechs.

The memorial plague is located on the wall of building in centre of Kromeriz town.
