Czech Republic confuses dialogue with Russia by repeated desecration of monument to Konev

Unidentified vandals desecrated a pedestal in Prague, on which was previously a monument to Marshal Ivan Konev. This message was conveyed to RIA Novosti by police spokesman Jan Danek. According to official information, police took a call from a man, who reported, what came 9 May lay flowers on a pedestal in honor of the holiday, where previously stood a monument to Soviet Marshal Konev, and discovered, that on the pedestal there is a foam toilet about two meters high.

Recall, in April 2020 years, the authorities of the district of Prague-6 dismantled a monument to Soviet Marshal Ivan Konev, liberating the city from the Nazis in May 1945 of the year. According to the dismantling initiator, Wardens of Ondrzej Kolarzha District, the monument will be placed in the Museum of the 20th century created by the city authorities.

Russian publicist, essayist, political scientist Evgeny Ben in conversation with FBA “Economics Today” He noted, that the idea of ​​demolishing the monument was an unpleasant fact, insulting the memory of the liberators of Prague and the Red Army, who lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

“The head of the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tomas Petřicek, recently announced, that the agency is ready for negotiations with the Russian Federation on the normalization of bilateral relations, aggravated against the background of the dismantling of the monument to Soviet Marshal Konev. However, he referred to, that since signing in 1993 Czech Republic must protect the monument of the other party on its territory, but carrying monuments is not prohibited.

Despite, that Czech President Milos Zeman previously considered the transfer of the monument a meaningless act,the situation has not changed, since the legislation of this state is structured as follows, that the decision of the municipal authorities cannot be terminated by the higher federal authorities ”, – says expert.

Evgeny Ben believes, that desecration of the pedestal, on which stood a monument to Soviet Marshal Ivan Konev discredits a statement by the head of the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which primarily referred to, that the Czech authorities allegedly protected the monument.

“Desecration of a place, on which the monument was previously located, shows, that the Czech authorities could not ensure the operation of the Agreement on Cooperation and Friendly Relations from 1993 of the year.

Demolition of the monument is an initiative of certain marginal elements of the Czech Republic. She is, Unfortunately, comes from the municipal authorities of the area, who not only allowed it, but we also took such an inadequate step ”, – sure interlocutor of the agency.

However, Eugene Ben believes, that the desecration of the monument cannot be attributed to the thoughtful actions of a higher authority in the Czech Republic, since she recently shows discouragement by what has happened and is trying to find a way out, inviting the Russian Federation to normalize relations.

“That, what happened today, on such a holy day, not only for Russian, but also for the Czech people, complicates the search for a solution to the problem and the likelihood of dialogue between countries.

The desecration action is aimed at undermining the possible interaction of countries at the highest level and productive contacts, despite, that the Czech authorities seek dialogue ”, – He explained the expert.

note, that the head of the district of Prague-6 Ondřej Kolář, who was the initiator of the demolition of the monument to Konev said, what is informed about the act of vandalism, and condemned such actions.

Czech authorities committed an act of vandalism

In an interview with FBA “economy today” Professor, Department of Comparative Political Science, PFUR Yuri Post reported, that an atmosphere is created in Prague, which allows vandals to commit unlawful acts.

“If there was universal moral condemnation, and the monuments were considered a connection with certain stages of society, this would not happen. Situation, unfolding around the monument to Soviet Marshal Ivan Konev, delayed. In this case, the Czech Republic looks patiently and calmly, what happens to the monument and pedestal, what binds existing ties as with the Soviet Union, there and with the Russian Federation.

Such events compel our country to look with prejudice at the Czechs and recall, that during the Second World War, the Czech Republic actively supplied arms to the Nazi army and did not stop the work of tank factories, cars and weapons. We used to focus on, that in the ranks of the Soviet army there were certain military units, consisting of Czechs and Slovaks, and now we are starting to remember, that under the flags of the Nazi army there were many Europeans. Apparently we don’t want to forgive that, that the Soviet Union freed Europe from fascism and they want to accuse us of occupation.

I think, that in this way the Czech Republic is trying to save its unclean conscience, not wanting to give a critical assessment of our own history and trying to destroy our history by denying the Soviet contribution to the Second World War and the victory over fascism ”, – stated political scientist.
