Commentary on the Facebook profile on the anniversary of the Prague Uprising.
Today we commemorate the heroes of the Prague Uprising of the Year against the Nazi occupation. The uprising showed that the Nazi terror of a nation professing Masaryk’s ideals did not break. Although the term Prague Uprising was used for the fighting on May 5-9, I would like to emphasize the role of those outside Prague at the time. I will mention the resistance of the citizens of Lahovice, where the retreating army took revenge on the innocent and defenseless.
we remember all too well how they hammered into our heads before the Velvet Revolution that the Prague Uprising had saved the advancing Red Army. That is not entirely true. We fought the uprising ourselves with the generous contribution of the Vlasovs. They paid for their heroism by liquidating the Red Army.
This is perhaps the greatest tragedy in history – one totalitarianism was practically replaced by another when, just a few years later, the Iron Curtain fell in Europe and we came under the rule of the Soviet Union.
