“We, the family members of Ivan Stepanovich Konev, have begun collecting signatures to bring the monument home,” RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.

It is clarified that the collection of signatures is carried out on the Change.org platform.

According to the daughter of Konev, the return of the monument to Russia is her dream.

“I didn’t talk about this before, because there was a hope that the monument would remain in Prague in its place, where it had been for several decades,” she said.

The monument was dismantled on April 4, while the head of the local municipality, Ondřej Kolář, in social networks accompanied this news with offensive statements.
