Whilst researching about MK's Mother I came across this fascinating article about Erwin Knopfler: MK's late father...

Indeed a MAJOR find to say the least. Cheers. So much new, detailed, interesting and important information here! WOW!!!
Ernö Knopfler? As in Ernö Goldfinger? :o
Just realised I walked along Norse Road when I photographed his old school, maybe even passed his house.
-
I think Mark resembles his father, especially when he was younger and thinner - around 1990. ;)
Thanks, Knopflerfan! :wave

Shame he was a communist. But looking on the bright side, Mark wouldn't exist if he wasn't...

Not really, unless someone still thinks, in 2019, that communism is viable. I don't think that's the case.

Thats politics. I strongly recommend you to delete that posts, I´ll do the same.
Me, I find it ofensive. And as me, there would be more people. The difference is that I don't care, but other will and that will start a hard discussion about politics.
It's not politics at all, it's reality. Communism is far gone, it would be politics if I'd mentioned something that actually exists such as socialism, liberalism or capitalism.

Good for you. Good luck.

No luck required here, just common sense. Thanks anyway:)

In the recent Spiegel interview Mark said that his father changed his mind about communism when he discovered more about Stalin

He also said he came from a poor working class background. lol

Couldn't agree more with regards the likeness between Mark and his father..
Soooooo pleased to have found this 'historic' article....
-
Well done, Knopfler fan! Looking forward to your success finding information about his mother. Thanks for finding and posting!

Am I the only one who remember this information appeared a long ago?
I'd say it was here. Maybe was on Silverton blues forum but I doubt it as I don't go there on often..,

Yes! I recall info on the chess stuff but none of the personal details.

It's one of the first things that pops up when you're searching for MK's father.
Talking about communism is politics? Oh, come on! The only man who can say that never seen David Knopfler's FB page! :lol
As for Russian this is very interesting to me, especially all this Marxism and communism, I hope Mark will elaborate more on that topic.

In Poland, we also lived a long time with communism. Too long :disbelief
We know little about Mark's sister

All that I can say, especially after discovering Sweden's and Nordic democracy in general, is that I hate communism with all my heart. It's like cancer.

Yeah, I once posted a public (!) photo of her from a public (!) website of a university where she's teaching literature, but got banned here for "privacy violation". I still think that this gesture from admins was a disaster of a resolution. I mean it's not violation of anything, the photo was extremely formal and official and meant to be out in public, but hey, it's Mark's sister so apparently we can't discuss it. Close this topic then. Huh?

Thank God Brazil escaped from that - for the THIRD time - last year.
