Vážený pane Dlouhý, o tom, kdo je Váš jmenovec, který má v Žitomiru ulici a je po něm pojmenované České centrum při tamní polytechnice, je možné dočíst se na jejím webu - v sekci věnované tomuto centru. Zde jenom jednou větou česky: byl to přední kameník, člen českého volyňského exilu.

Více zde anglicky (z webu výše uvedeného, jde o část, celý text se sem nevejde):

Vaclav Dlouhi (in Czech – Dlugy, that is long) was a prominent stonemason, a Czech by nationality, who left many outstanding buildings and architectural monuments not only in Zhytomyr, but all over the former Soviet Union. Unfortunately there was very little information about the life of a prominent mason. Dates of birth and death are unknown. We only know that he was born in Zhytomyr, where he grew up and began his career, inheriting the profession of a mason from his father – Joseph Dlouhi. He lived and worked on the Vilsko-Shoseyna street (now Victory street in the district of the Korolenko square ). Five of the six stone workshops were situated there.

Major architectural monuments in Zhytomyr built in 1912 are “The stairs of the earls” in the Gagarin Park. It was Vaclav Dlouhi who on the order of Baron Ivan Maksimilianovich de Shoduar cut and fitted 182 steps that lead from the Park to the waterfront of Teteriv river. Zhytomyr “stairs of the earls” are only 10 steps shorter than the famous Potemkin’s stairs in Odessa.

There is every reason to assume that the tomb in Lutheran cemetery, where Baron de Shoduar was buried, is also faced with the stone processed by Vaclav Dlouhi.

Joseph and Vaclav Dlouhi left many attractive monuments and gravestones at two largest cemeteries of Zhytomyr. They are considered to be works of art. Thus, the Catholic (Polish) cemetery preserved 46 monuments. The first monument is dated by 1889, the latest by 1927.
