"Impact" includes Havel presidency

I added the following to the end of the section on Impact:

And the author of this essay, Václav Havel, was elected as the first and only president of the post-Soviet Czechoslovakia and then the first president of the Czech Republic after dissolution.

I do not have a reference for this claim, but it seems so obvious, it should hardly be controversial.

Is it fair to say that The Power of the Powerless is his best known and most influential publication?

I have no source for that, but seems to be the only one of his works cited in the Wikipedia article on him that is also available online. And as noted in the section on Genesis and publication history, it was the originating essay "in a planned book of Polish and Czechoslovak essays ... . Each of the contributors was to have received a copy of Havel's essay and then to respond to it." DavidMCEddy (talk) 05:07, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
