A film was made in Prague in response to the initiators of the demolition of the monument to Marshal Konev
“The Price of Victory” is the name of the new film, which was shot in the Czech Republic by local participants in the “Immortal Regiment” project. As it turned out, not everyone among Czechs supports the actions of Russophobic politicians who initiated the demolition of the monument to Marshal Ivan Konev in Prague. On the contrary, the authors of the film remind that the Victory was common - the First Czechoslovak Army Corps of Ludwik Svoboda, which took part in the battles for Kharkov, Kyiv and Transcarpathia, fought together with the Red Army against the Nazis.
The film by Czech authors is extremely important in the context of the information war unleashed by the West, notes Igor Korotchenko, editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine.
“The Soviet Union saved Prague from destruction, and the fighting there took place after the signing of the Act of Unconditional Surrender of Germany. Soviet soldiers fought without the use of heavy equipment, sacrificing their lives in order to preserve Prague and not destroy it.
Therefore, in this regard, of course, those supporters that we have in the Czech Republic, and in any other European country, we need to support them and carry out joint actions. And Europe needs to be reminded of the contribution of the Soviet Union to the victory, because there, unfortunately, they forget about it, they trumpet that it was the United States that saved it by landing in Normandy in 44.
We must respond to this Western historical lie by supporting our supporters and allies - and in the Czech Republic we have such people,” says the military expert.
He calls for promoting the film's distribution on social networks. “This is one of the forms of reminder of the contribution and role of the Soviet Union in the defeat of fascism and the salvation of Czechoslovakia,” Korotchenko said.
“Thank God that there are still healthy forces and people who are doing this,” agrees Russian political scientist Alexey Martynov, speaking about the new Czech film.
