Aahhhhh Bohemian baroque
Many of the Baroque architects who worked, lived and often also died in the Czech lands came from different countries or were of foreign origin, mainly Italian, some came also from Bavaria, Austria or France.

People tend to focus on the 'popular' issues like China, forgetting the pains and struggles in Europe and other places . . . it takes a pile of human faeces like Klongdick to remind us that remnants and beneficiaries of atrocities still live among us . . . as Hal puts it so well:
For the ones who wants to know something more than some brainwashed blabbers:
When the leaders of Czechoslovak govt returned from Moscow they were embraced and accoladed by population. Two young stars, singer and actress had prepared a "hijack" of Dubček - who despite his heavy communist past - had become that time very popular, showing a "human face of communism". (a small embarrassment occurred, the prepared necklet was lost in the car):
The young actress Iva Janžurová is nowadays one of most honoured actress. Me living in the same apartment house with her and her husband, also actor and theater director (now deceased), seeing them often in Prague during my visits.
Herewith a photo with her at backstage of National Theater in Prague during intermission, with my late wife, also with us a wife of my colleague taking the snapshot:
Here an article where she explained how she was later deprived of her activity for some time
Unforgettable guilt: Dubček deprived Janžurka of serious roles!
Photogallery with her husband and two daughters, also actresses:

Nice photoes actually klondy- cheers. Prague is one of those places I wish I had visited in the 1980's. But been there twice in the 90's.
So, what about it? Or do you want some erudite quotes from Wiki?

Like Uncle Joe helped Poland? No wonder they didn't want the help. Sorry about the OhOh/Klodyke like whatabout. I thought the boot should be on the other foot for a change. Or, what's good for the Goose if you prefer.

Damn you and your facts, HC . . . let's wait for the inevitable whataboutism.
Still - Soviet military invasion of Czechoslovakia, murdering countless people and supported and furthered by our very own Klongdick against his own people
How wonderful your knowledge... Perhaps 1st-hand from StaSi?
The reality is that many of the former high position people - and many of their kins - had made a good use of the wildwest years after the 1989 "Velvet Revolution" (what actually was no revolution).
Securing for themselves the best of the Family Silver (all the well running industry the republic had been always very good with) on the Cayman Islands...
Is it somehow connected with the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia?
Beside the fact that the Polish soldiers too invaded...
And beside the fact that Poland had bitten off a piece of Czechoslovakia immediately after Hitler invasion, foolishly hoping on a good future with him according to their old treaty...Originally Posted by sabang (6. 20. 1000.

About the "Massacre", there is a lot to discuss...
What did your great grandpa done to Russians that he was so afraid of them? And he wasn't afraid of Germans that they would get him? Or was he a German, that's why he knew what he did to them?
Anyway, that's a good example of the brainwashing: "Russians coming, Russians coming..."
I would be interested in his pictures and stories from his Prague days.
Doesn't that fit your ...narrative ?
Oh sorry
I wasn't aware that I asked him to share it here on your thread
I'll match my values against yours anyday, but it's not easy to be me when I get a red from your good self for questioning Pele as being the best footballer ever.
I can change my 'contrarian' ways, but your stupidity will stay on.
Do share
From where, why, when ?
You brought him up
Or do I have to shot up cause you have a refugy great grandfather, which makes you a capasity on all european history ?
Isn't the truth that you have most of your un-nuanced dribble from News of the World and Readers Digest :
Stick to football, which you know someting about and stop calling people you don't know ugly words
I am ?
Could be because of the lack of sleep at night.
Busy polishing your shovel, harry old buddy ?
Yes, such office location I had had and the views with all the surrounding is hardly a good luck of some. I left shortly before 1980 with family (with wife and 2 boys), leaving everything behind, not sure whether we will not be returned from the border and having our apartment checked to see what was our intention (as we heard sometimes).
And in case we really will be allowed to get through, which direction should we choose? Not having anything reserved from the fear our intention not to return to be discovered. And where to sleep tonight in this freeze day, not having much money to survive few days in hotels. Quite an irresponsible decision laying heavily on me. But that's quite a long story...
In my days in Prague the streets were not full of strangers, with my colleagues we enjoyed daily a good time when gathering in chosen restaurant for a lunch. Where we go today, quite a few choices, mostly over the Karls Bridge 700 years old. Just few tourists around where I sometimes showed off (in front of my mates) my ingenious languages knowledge when advising them where to go (left or right).
Nowadays, no one on the bridge speaks Czech...
