Like Diogenes, Švejk lingers at the margins of an unfriendly society against which he is defending his independent existence. "Švejking" is the method for surviving "švejkárna", which is a situation or institution of systemic absurdity requiring the employment of "švejking" for one to survive and remain untouched by it.

An August 31, 2001 Radio Free Europe report of a Hašek Museum Being Set up in
Bugulma,
i.e. Bögelmä, Tatarstan. Jaroslav Hašek served there as a Deputy Commissar for the Red Army in October through December 1918. Hašek's "memorial apartment", a.k.a. the J. Gashek's Literary Memorial Museum
(as listed in Russian on the Tatarstan National Museum's list of museums in Tatarstan). The
e-mail address of Hašek's Museum in Bugulma" m1814@mail.museum.ru
. Streets were named after Jaroslav Hasek ('Gasek' in the Russian language as in its alphabet there is no letter or the sound 'H') in Kiev, Omsk, Chelyabinsk, Kazan, and St. Petersburg, to name a few places.

"It was reminiscent of the title character in Jaroslav Hasek’s famous
unfinished novel "The Good Soldier Svejk." When all is said and
done, the good soldier Svejk never really gave a hoot about his fearless leader
or the public relations machine. The people toiling in the trenches in the Grid
community have long stopped caring what it's called or how folks outside the
community think about it. They're too busy making it work and haggling though
standards needed to make it work better.
"Unfortunately, in the same way that political conflict looks absurd to the
good soldier Svejk, technological evolution isn't as simple or pure as an
engineering mindset would like to understand."
