I agree under those terms that if the Czechs want it removed and returned to the Russians, that is their sovereign right to do so.

However, there’s a danger of knee jerking to wiping away history by taking down manifestations of it for the sake of PC or making points. It’s a soft form of tyranny, no matter who performs it or what their ostensible reason is for doing it.

...and it’s intellectually lazy, to boot. If anything, the statue should be explained truthfully to future generations for what it represented at the time it was installed.
