Monument to Marshal Ivan Konev desecrated in Prague

53
Unknown vandals in the capital of the Czech Republic painted in pink the lower half of the monument to Marshal of the Soviet Union Ivan Konev, who liberated the city from the fascists in 1945, reports RIA News with reference to the representative of the administrative district of Prague-6 Adam Galmosi.

Monument to Marshal Ivan Konev desecrated in Prague


The official said at a press conference: “Unidentified persons desecrated at night a monument to the Soviet Marshal Ivan Konev in the Interbrigade Square, repainting its lower half in pink”. He noted that the monument has already been cleared of paint, the police are searching for vandals.

Currently, it is the only surviving monument of many others, established by Soviet military leaders and politicians. After the Communists were removed from power in 1989, they were all torn down or sent to museums.

The monument to Konev is also not left alone: ​​in power structures there are occasionally raised questions about his future fate. Some offer to move it to the back, others - to reduce the height of the pedestal, so as not to catch the eye. But so far, the marshal with a bouquet of lilacs in his hand still looks from a three-meter-high height to the city, which his cost-saving lives have saved him from destruction in 1945.

The agency’s reference: “The Monument to Ivan Stepanovich Konev was installed in Prague in 1970 in memory of the liberation of the Czech capital from the Nazis in 1945 by troops under the command of the marshal. Konev was a famous Soviet commander who received many medals and orders, including "For the capture of Berlin" and "For the liberation of Prague."

            These idiots were not explained that behind the monument to the commander there are thousands of soldiers' lives, thanks to which they were born. It’s time for the Czechs to begin to tell the truth to their youth. My uncle freed Prague, told me that it was scary and insulting to die at the end of the war, but no one was hiding behind the comrades, and as they were met in Prague, they were not met anywhere.

                So this is not Stalin's fault, but his followers. Look at the geographical map of the USSR of the Stalin era, the borders from the RSFSR were pushed away for hundreds and thousands of kilometers, which completely nullified the doctrines of a quick war. So there was a benefit from all the republics, at least such as the role of the shield. If you do not understand the actions of state leaders, this means only one thing, you do not know what they know. Of course, we are not supposed to know this, but nobody forbids us to read, enlighten and think. This is just one aspect, in my opinion, of the politics of that era. And there were a lot of them.

      The conclusion from this news can be drawn if you learn the opinion of most Czechs. It’s a pity there is no video where the journalist walked along the street and asked the Czechs what they think about this.
      If there really is a majority who approve of desecration, then they should dislike them and wish them a second Fuhrer.
      But I suspect that their government than the people approve of this abomination more.

      The unilateral withdrawal of troops from Europe was a big mistake. There would be more adequacy in the actions and actions of "our Western partners." But this is in general, and in particular, I do not exclude that this particular monument was doused by farm laborers from Nezalezhnaya, in the intervals between washing the master's sorts.

It's time to finally realize your importance within your borders and defend the country within your borders! Now only the flawed are fighting with weapons. Victory in economic and political wars is much more effective. You need to deal with your country, your people. Then there will be no "Maidans", the capital will not run offshore.

      This once again speaks of the length of European memory. In 1945, Konev did not seem to be an invader to the Czechs when he saved Prague. Even when the Union collapsed, they tried to demolish the monument, but then people did not give it. Unfortunately, a new generation has grown up that knows everything. It is simply an insult to ourselves.

      And also one of the few people who were awarded the Order of Victory.

      1. The Order of Victory, as the highest military order, shall be awarded to persons of the highest command of the Red Army for the successful conduct of such military operations on the scale of several or one front, as a result of which the situation changes radically in favor of the Red Army.

      2. Awarding the Order of Victory is carried out only by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.

      3. The Order of Victory is worn on the left side of the chest 12-14 cm above the belt.
      - Statute of the Order of Victory

      Marshal Konev was awarded him "For the Liberation of Poland and the Forcing of the Oder."

      The Order of Victory, the highest military order of the USSR, was established by Decree of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Council on 8.11.1943/18/1944 on the establishment of the Order of Victory simultaneously with the soldier's order of Glory.
