I'll have you know that I first listed Anna Russian many years ago in the RED section, b/c it looked RED to me, of course it's pink, but way back then I knew nothing about checking epidermis colors, but I sure learned how to do it.
Your translations say a pink heart and that's what the person who grew Herodes got and she did check the epidermis.
So all seems well in Herodes land except I'd still like to know, if possible if Moravo seeds offers just varieties that are bred by them or others or if Herodes is a family heirloom.

There are two firms in Czech republic, what employ oneself in cultivation of vegetables now- SEMO Smržice and Moravoseed. Herodes is variety cultivated by Moravoseed and after tests in ÚKZUZ was placed to the book of types tomato ČR (to catalogue of EU automatically too) in 2010 year. Herodes is not family heirloom .
Some information about Czech tomatoes are on these pages:
http://www.semo.cz/ and
http://www.moravoseed.cz/
I hope, you can open these pages in English language.
A nice morning wish Vladimír
