The Czech Defense Ministry responded with a letter to the request of the Russian Defense Ministry to hand over the monument to Marshal Konev of Russia

A letter came from the Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic to the main defense department of Russia - in response to a request to hand over a monument dismantled in Prague to Marshal Ivan Konev. Recall that with this appeal, the Russian Ministry of Defense turned to Czech colleagues more than a month ago - almost immediately after the dismantling of the monument.

The official answer actually repeats the words that the Czech ministry originally expressed.



The press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense reports that the head of the Czech military department, Lubomir Metnar, declared "the impossibility of passing the monument." The argument of Mr. Metnar is as follows: the monument is not the property of the Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic, but remains on the balance sheet of the municipal authorities.

The letter says that “the decision on the monument was taken in the municipality of Prague-6”:

The Ministry of Defense cannot take ownership of the monument, which belongs to one of the capital's municipalities.

According to Metnar, neither he nor his department is authorized to make any decisions on the transfer of the monument to the Russian Federation.

Further, trying to justify himself, Metnar said that the Ministry of Defense of the Chechen Republic "is engaged in the protection and care of about 4 thousand Soviet burials on Czech territory."

Every year we allocate funds from the budget for their maintenance and reconstruction
-
summed up the Czech Minister of Defense.

Recall that earlier in the Czech media there were statements about the provision of protection to the mayor of the municipality of Prague-6 and the mayor of the Czech capital in connection with the alleged Russian threat to them.

            Interesting things come out! Namely.

            As you know, the monument to Konev, a native of Nikolsky district of the Vologda province (Samolet), a marshal who is considered to be the liberator of Prague from the Nazi occupation, was installed in the Prague region Bubenets in May 1980 and is dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the liberation of Czechoslovakia. Authors of the monument - Czech sculptors Zdenek Krybus and Vratislav Ruzichka.
            What was the monument removed for?
            According to the official version of the Czech authorities, Prague was liberated by the Vlasovites - the First Division of the ROA under the command of General Bunyachenko. According to the initiators of the transfer of the monument, it was the Vlasov people who, at the first stage, supported the Prague uprising, did not allow the Nazis to crush it. But, as all historians admit, the Vlasovites did not have the strength to finish the job, and the soldiers of the Red Army under the leadership of Marshal Konev finally liberated Prague.
            Meanwhile, Vlasov had his own selfish motive to join the Prague uprising. Namely, to surrender to the Allied forces, and not to be captured by the Soviet troops. And nothing more.

            The campaign against the monument began in 2015: it was smeared with red paint and insulting inscriptions were written. An ideological basis was laid down for these actions: Konev allegedly brought “communist totalitarianism” to Czechoslovakia, participated in the suppression of the 1956 Hungarian uprising, was an active participant in the Berlin crisis of 1961, and then helped plan the invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968.
            And despite this, in spite of all this, a monument to Konev was erected by the grateful Czechs at his own expense in 1980, to the 35th anniversary of the liberation of Czechoslovakia.!
            Vandal rallies were supported by the head of Prague-6, Ondřej Kolář and his supporters in the district council.

            A public opinion poll of residents of the Bubenets district (Prague-6) in 2018 showed that only 0,15% of the population favors the transfer of the monument. Those. practically NOTHING!
            But without holding a referendum, the district authorities decided to move the monument and to establish in its place the monument "the liberation of Czechoslovakia."

            It is precisely the POLITICAL aspect with the demolition of the monument to Konev in Prague in this case that is taking place, as well as the excess of their official powers by the head of Prague Ondrej Kolář.

            At the same time, Maria Zakharova correctly stated that this issue does not fit into the local framework of an autonomous decision of the authorities of a particular district of Prague, but is a purely political hostile attack of the Czech Republic against the Russian Federation and should be resolved at the level of the Czech Foreign Ministry ..

          And only after the demolition he ... disappeared from the Register!

          So the Czech Defense Ministry breaches of innocence: it was obliged to keep it in place!

          Lavrov said this recently, as well as the fact that the Czech Republic promised earlier NOT to move the monument.

          The Czechs have not yet answered. But completely expose them before retaliation, it’s definitely necessary.

        Actually, it is like that - democracy. And therefore, in the sayings of the old philosophers, she receives not quite flattering assessments. Nevertheless, it would not be much better if each minister had the right in a separate point of the country to administer the administrative-administrative method that was not peculiar to him. Whenever news comes out from under the pen of a journalist about our graters with European neighbors about monuments and graves, I would like to see deeper information in these materials than emotional outbursts. These Poles and Czechs, working out their silver pieces, are deeply hostile to me, but would it be interesting to know about this monument, how much does it fall within the scope of the memorial agreement? Is he in the official register of the party that assumes state responsibility for his condition. As you know, the devils are in the details. Are all the little things in favor of our view of the situation with the monument?

      So remember, gentlemen, the night of June 18-19, 1945 in the city of Prerau (Prgerov). There, regular Czech troops stopped a train with the German population, which at the end of the war was evacuated to Bohemia and now deported to the Soviet occupation zone. The Czechs ordered the Germans to get off the train and start digging a foundation pit for the mass grave. Old men and women hardly obeyed the order. After that, Czech soldiers under the command of officer Karol Pazur shot 265 Germans, among whom were 120 women and 74 children. The oldest of the killed civilians was 80 years old, and the youngest was eight months old. After the execution, the Czechs looted belongings of refugees. The total number of German civilians killed by Czechs in 1945 is tens of thousands. Well, for women who became pregnant from the Germans, their stomachs were simply ripped open. It somehow does not look like the behavior of a cultural European nation. The Czech Republic Ministry of Defense is bashfully silent about this.

Or maybe dig into the "gynecological" tree of the headman. Maybe there is an ancestor who was also a headman, only under the Germans. This is of course all disgusting.

      Good morning, dear forum users!
      I just read the news that in the Czech Republic it turns out there are dukovany NPPs. So these Czechs planned to expand it and announced a tender. It involves Russians, Chinese, French and Americans. Guess who is excluded from the tender? Correctly!!!! Russian and Chinese. And it is likely that the Americans will win. Although the word probably does not fit. And if anything, (the Americans will not get the right to build and sell their rods), then this nuclear power plant will be closed, and this poor person will need to switch to firewood.
      What I’m leading to is not in this Czech Republic today, so tomorrow, figuratively speaking, a failure will occur, since American fuel is not suitable for Soviet nuclear power plants. An example is 404. There half of the nuclear power plants are either closed or barely working.
      So after the accident at the nuclear power plant and see how they run in and fuss. This will be a sign with the above, do not defile the memory of the Fallen!

        Do you know what - you are not far from the 404 adherents: the tender has not even been announced yet, but you have already come up with a story of how Russians and Chinese are excluded, and then how Czech nuclear power plants switch to firewood and close, thus forging a virtual "peremog" and taking revenge on the Czechs for the monument ...

Others came, without conscience without memory. They canceled the previous decision. They introduced a new one about the demolition ... and probably not without the filing of the Czech MO ...

        Those Russian municipalities that did not allow the installation of monuments to Czech legionnaires

        Monuments to Czech legionnaires on Russian soil should not be. Let the graves not fight the dead. But Konev came to them not to capture and not to unleash a civil war.

        And after that, we will continue to drive the head of the mantra of ,, Slav brothers, ,,

        The Czech people are heterogeneous, as are we. An example is shit ... chat controversy. And the heads of government bodies do not always express the opinion of those whom they "represent".
        I still think that there are more normal people among Czechs and Ukrainians. At least, when the foam left the Ukrainian question, relations at the personal level with the Ukrainians (not with everyone) returned to normal. So it is necessary to build relationships in the conditions that exist. And most importantly, you can’t bawl everybody, and look for those with whom you can talk.

          Perhaps the Czech people are, and heterogeneous, but the Czech people chose their power independently. And the people will be responsible for the actions of the authorities. However, the same applies to Ukrainians. I am very sorry, but I need to proceed from the facts, not from emotions and illusions.

      Recall that earlier in the Czech media there were statements about the provision of protection to the mayor of the municipality of Prague-6 and the mayor of the Czech capital in connection with the alleged Russian threat to them.


      Why threats? Not a threat. Royalty free medical care. Lobotomy without anesthesia is a medical operation. So officials are very necessary.

        They are nevertheless afraid and not in vain ... The Czechs here clearly crossed the red line!
        This does not say goodbye! There are many supposedly their territory and they want to do something .. Well, I agree, but Russia offered them to buy a monument, set a price .. But no, they want to destroy it .. This is called provocation and spitting on our souls of Russian and dead Soviet soldiers. . Were Nazi bedding and remained ..

      Every year we allocate funds from the budget for their maintenance and reconstruction
      And how many human lives of Soviet soldiers were laid for the liberation of the Czech Republic, but money and resources are not counted. The noble children of a yard dog. But how many defenders of this Czech Republic from our compatriots are disgusting.

      Politely sent, re-sent. Firstly, the military can informally contact the municipality, and secondly, the government has many formal methods to annex "Kolya Saprykin" with a minimal desire to meet Russia halfway. PS Well, it is obvious that everyone in the embassy has a bad head.
      Such things must be solved without leading to excesses (behind closed doors). Unless they were going to wait for a scandal, "brilliantly not thinking about a fallback" ..

      What helplessness! Well, the Czech Ministry of Defense cannot do anything with the district headman! Here it is, true democracy! Any inadequate, selected in the microscopic power of an urban area, can do anything, because he is POWER! Well, Hitler was legally elected chancellor. And in 12 years I have done THIS! The area of ​​Prague is, fortunately, not on that scale. But something is not right in the "Danish Kingdom" ...

      I’m just in complete disbelief from the actions of the Czech Defense Ministry ... be-be-be-be ... me-me .. we can’t do it like sheep bleating. I am more than sure that our military asked them to assist in the transfer of the monument, and did not demand to give it immediately. Ugh on them .... neither honor nor dignity.

      The Ministry of Defense cannot take ownership of the monument, which belongs to one of the capital's municipalities.

      The Czechs fell for lies, there is no faith in them.

      Lavrov
      “They explained to us in a very, I would say,“ not in an adult way ”that the Czech Government has nothing to do with this, because the monument was owned by this municipality, that is, this“ elder. ”I believe that this is“ childish ” explanation, because the obligation to ensure the safety of this monument lay on the shoulders Czech state. Moreover, until recently, we knew (and the Czech side confirmed this to us) that the monument was in the register of the Czech Ministry of Defense... And suddenly, when it was demolished, we are shyly told that it is not their property. <…> The commitment has not gone anywhere, and the monument must be restored. "

      Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Czech Republic
      “For our part, we cannot accept statements about some kind of“ transfer ”of the monument. The sculpture of Marshal I. Konev was only an integral part of the military memorial, the architectural ensemble of which also included a pedestal and adjacent elements. Thus, dismantling of the sculpture, destruction of inscriptions , as well as the demolition of the pedestal declared by the leadership of the city district of Prague-6 is nothing more than the destruction of a military monument.

      Why do we need any relations with states that do not respect us? Diplomatic, economic, tourist? Czechs openly, at the level of power, show their hatred of Russia. Lavrov "do not feed bread" let me talk! Only the stupid or the weak can call a bandit and a hooligan to conscience and pity. First, give a loveshnik, then a good word and the result will be instant! So do something - POWER!
