The representative of the Prague police said that unidentified persons sprayed the monument with the inscription “No to the bloody marshal, we will not forget” and the date “1968”.

“The police are checking the data of the cameras and the traces left near the monument, an appropriate investigation will be conducted,” the law enforcement agency quoted RIA Novosti as saying.

The monument to Marshal Konev was erected in the Czech capital in 1980.

The monument was repeatedly targeted by vandals. So, in the spring of 2018, unknown persons poured pink paint on the Konev monument, and in the fall of 2017, vandals wrote several dates on the monument.
