You do realise that in modern russia Stalin is considered a hero and praised? The actions of USSR in Prague are viewed in a positive light. If Germany was uniformly praising Hitler and building him monuments I somehow doubt Germany would have a lot of friends.
This comes as a surprise to me. Prague is rife with anti-communist monuments. Plaques implore the viewer to never forget about the scourge of totalitarian rule. Free anti-communist movies were on display in the park.
This is bullshit. Yes there are some people who praise him as a hero, and quite a number of those who does not see him as a hero, but does not view him as a murderous dictator either - it's more like "yes, he did horrible thing we should remember through our lifes, but he did what was necessary for the country". This view is very debatable\questionable, but still has it's right to be.
Most of the people view him just a historical figure without giving in to some deeper thought. Same as for Ivan IV The Terrible, or Peter I The Great (yes, he did much for the country and basically made it up to european standarts, but still was what you'd call a bloody dictator)
>The actions of USSR in Prague are viewed in a positive light
Same as above - this can be applied to 10-15% of population at most.
