The Prague leadership wants to take away Konev’s honorary citizenship. Konev was a Russian military leader and a Soviet marshal. At the end of World War II, he took part in the liberation of Prague, parts of Poland, Silesia, and Saxony

1. And then he slaughtered Hungarian Revolution and build Berlin Wall.

2. “liberation”

3. Remember when someone replaced the statue with a toilet? xD

4. Konev never liberated Prague itself, his troops arrived into a city liberated by its citizens and the Russian Liberation Army, whose members will be shortly executed en masse within Prague by NKVD troops arriving at his heels. Before the war, he was denouncing other red army officers, so they can get purged instead of himself.

5. Kdy dáme Ivany do muzea? Poláci a Ukrajinci už to udělali dávno a Rusové na pomníky Českejch legionářů vždycky kašlali.

6. Only a small fraction of Soviet activity during WW2 can actually be considered fighting for us.

   They spent much more time fighting against us and fighting against their former ally at their own soil (which is also where most of their losses come from).
