  1. We don’t think about tankies at all. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)

    The end of WW2 was yesterday. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)

  2. I think that people (mostly who arent from Estern europe) dont get that people, who dont like Soviets for what they done after liberation and that they used it as way of spreading of their influence, arent pro n#zi.
    They dont get what communist realy did in Czechoslovakia. Most people i know are glad that soviets get rid of german occupiers, but would be more grateful if soviets didnt help overthrow democracy in Czechoslovakia, or if someone else freed Czechoslovakia like when Plzeň was freed by americans.

  3. Yeah.. we were liberated by them … Days after Americans could do it, but couldn’t…

    But yes, we were.. it’s nice thing to celebrate, we do it every year

  6. There are no big celebrations of WW2 end in Czechia. We have memorial acts, we remember those who lost their lives fighting against Nazis.

    But there are no celebrations, no crowds of happy smiling people expressing the joy that it all ended. No celebrations except for one – [Slavnosti svobody v Plzni (Liberation festival in Pilsen)](https://www.slavnostisvobody.cz/en/photogallery/liberation-festival-2023/sunday-may-7/). And Pilsen was the only major city liberated by USA.

    And that says it all. That’s what we think about tankies.

  8. Communists are not heroes, they murdered, raped and robbed innocent people and heroes who fought against Nazism

  10. It ended on the 8th of May, and Prague was basically liberated by itself (with help from russian liberation army) from the german nazi grip when the soviets arrived.

    Communists started their own occupation since the 1948 coup.

  11. On the 9th of May 1945, Marshall Koněv ordered the Soviet Air Force to bomb several towns in north-western Bohemia in order to stop the retreating Germans. Mladá Boleslav, Mělník, Liberec, and several other places were bombed. Some 1300 civilians were killed. That was the Soviet liberation.

  12. Honestly the only celebrations I know about is in Pilsen where there are american jeeps and people in US uniforms reminding us that Patton could have been in Prague much earlier, if He was allowed, also the Czech freed Prague not Russians, they pretty much walked into Nazi free city. The guy who led the Prague uprising against Germans ended up in prison during communist regime…. Tankies are no better than Nazis

  14. First of all – what do you mean by “tankies”?

    What do I think as Czech about Liberation of Czechoslovakia? Yeah its nice to get liberated from nazi occupation. But would be much nicer if the the comrades would not rape the liberated country (and many other nations) so hard afterwards. They basically turned us (and many other nations) into a ducking colony, exploiting resources and erasing our culture and freedom.

    As a son of a man who was repressed by that regime I piss on all soviets, commies, totalitarian regimes, nazis and above all on that god damn Kremlin.

  15. Silly 😉 Question is not about “end of Nazi”, but about Russia celevration, and answer:

    Russia is just one initiator of whole World War 2 (Motov-Ribbentrop), which almost lost, by their stupidity.

    So for Russia – thank you at least for switching sides (once they were forced). And then – f*ck off 🤡

  17. Untrue propaganda. The war officially ended on the 8th. The Red Army arrived to already liberated Prague:

    Until 1950s, the V day was celebrated on May 8 and it was changed to May 9 in 1952 or 53. It official holiday name was changed from V day to “The Liberation of Czechoslovakia by the Red Army”. This title of the holiday is nonsense, since western Bohemia was liberated by USA and Romania participated as well and about 20,000 Romanians died on Czechoslovak soil.

    Any case, Soviets were so angry that they were deprived of battle glory when they arrived to Prague day after, that they eventually forced Czechoslovakia to arrest the communist leadership of Prague and charged them with treason. Nazis who fought Czech rebels shared after the war prison cells with Czech rebells…

  20. German general delivered his surrender to leader of Prague uprising, general Kutlvašr, on the 8th. On the 9th the Commies drive into liberated free city. Kutlvašr is persecuted by the communists some years later…

    Not only did these fucks have nothing to do with the liberation of Prague, they actively persecuted those who did. Fuck them.

  25. It should have been Patton who liberated Prague. He was sitting in Plzen for a month and could have helped. But the west gave the commies Prague. Unforgivable!

  29. So many tankies talking about shit they don’t understand. Makes my blood boil, the worst is that they think that us, who actually are from therse countries agree with them. They genuinely think people that were under USSR miss it and praise it. And if you try to explain that they are wrong they just call you a liar and brainwashed.

  30. Europe: You’ve freed us!

    USSR: Oh i wouldn’t say “freed”, more like – under new management.

  31. Nazis capitulated day before Soviets came to Prague. Czechoslovakia was liberated by Poles, Romanians (like 100k people), Americans and Soviets – soviets armies in Czechoslovakia consisted of 1st 2nd and 4th Ukrainian fronts, in which you could find hundreds of thousands of Ukranians.

    It is important to be correct and tell the whole truth.

  33. There is nothing to celebrate. They liberated our country only to seize it for themselves. (We ended up under Soviet occupation until 1989, the year our country finally became free.)

  35. As far as I know, the US army would’ve liberated the entire country if it hadn’t been ordered to stop in the south because of deals made between the USSR and Allied forces. Patton has a famous quote about it I think.

  36. Smrt komoušům a náckům. Společnost nebude svobodná a v bezpeci dokud se bude byť jen jedna z těhle extremistickych skupin tolerovat.

  37. Who cares? This is one of the things the Red Army did right. Sure, it took Hitler betraying Stalin for them to fight Hitler but still.

    The celebration, however, should stay at the 8th of May for us. The day was chosen because Germany capitulated on the 8th of May in our timezone but in the timezone they have in Moscow, it was already past midnight, so 9th.

  39. Even people that I fundamentally disagree with get to celebrate an end of a tragedy.

    Even people that I consider human filth get to celebrate an end of a tragedy.

    There is very little in a way of celebrations throughout the entire Czech Republic. You don’t celebrate liberation by someone who declared you to be their sphere of influence, meddled to get rid of democracy and trigger a communist coup, and then decided to occupy the country when the people finally saw the empire of evil for what it really stood for and tried to distance themselves from it.

    To Czechs, the short peace that followed the victory day was a respite followed by 40 more years of suffering caused by supposed brother liberators. Go celebrate that.
