Original Toronto Star caption: Jaroslav Hovadik is a Czech artist who fled his homeland following the Russian invasion last August. Today he lives in Toronto where he spends six hours a day studying English. Hovadik had everything an artist could want in Czechoslovakia: if the Russians hadn't invaded: he says: he never would have left.
