Sanitizing history is a messy business

There is a difference between this Konev controversy and the one involving Confederate generals. The Konev statue is on the soil of a different country. If the Czechs want it gone for whatever reason, gone it should be.

Ship the statue back to Russia, and let them set it up there. And by the way, there’s nothing wrong with the Russians honoring Konev. That guy kicked some serious Nazi butt.

A wee bit different than the American white-washing and erasing of history.

The Soviet overlords were despised in Prague! The Czechs are wonderful allies of ours, same as the Poles!
