Monument to the Unknown Russian Looter

The Czech Republic (then part of Czechoslovakia) was colonized by Russian imperialists after World War II. During the occupation which lasted until 1989 the occupiers constructed a lot of Soviet war memorials. The purpose may have been to remind the Czechs of the Soviet military presence in the country.

Most of those monuments are now gone. But some creative Czech artists modified one of the remaining ones to make a statement about the mass looting in Ukraine by Putin’s invaders.

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is an attempt to restore the Soviet Union of his youth in all but name. People in Eastern Europe have no illusions about Russia.

Americans need to learn a lot more about Eastern Europe so that they understand that Russia is not a normal country and Putin is not a normal leader.

In view of the considerable loss of life and the almost indescribable suffering caused by this war, this is a rather modest Soviet monument that commemorates the official end of World War II in Europe.
