Re: The Ranting/Debate Thread
From here, it's muddled. Yes, the past needs to be remembered (less it be repeated) and it's a touchy subject over there with Russia and so on right now, but it's also essentially a lesser tomb for unknown soldiers- something that should at least be treated with some reverence, in theory.
So yeah... Not sure what side to support here. :S
First off: How did locals agree to making this in the first place if this was essentially a hostile occupation?So there's a memorial in Prague with the inscription: "In eternal memory and honor of the fallen soldiers, internationalists, and peacemakers." It's actually dedicated to Soviet soldiers who essentially acted as an occupation force in Czechoslovakia between 1968 and 1991.
