Václav Kotva (20 January 1922 – 3 November 2004) was a Czech actor. Teaching career After graduation in the 1950s Kotva became a teacher. As a practising Christian, Kotva was regarded as politically suspect and potentially disloyal by the Czechoslovak communist administration; he was permitted to teach only in remote rural regions. Theatre Kotva participated in amateur theatre in his hometown, Radnice, and began acting professionally in Ostrava, at the regional Petra Bezruče Theatre, in 1959. In 1965 he moved to Prague, becoming a founding member of the Činoherní klub theater there.

He won critical acclaim for his roles in classical Russian drama, including Gogol's The Government Inspector and The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov.

The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity.
