In July, Czech legislation equated communism and Nazism. The law on communist propaganda in the Czech Republic came into effect after being signed by the President of the country, Petr Pavel, and now, support for such movements is punishable by up to five years in prison. However, Petr Pavel partially decriminalized non-payment of child support and also eased regulations for the cultivation and storage of cannabis. According to the official statement, the draft law on communist propaganda was developed with the help of Czech research institutes, particularly the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes. This means that the country has effectively equated communism with Nazism. The desire to subjugate the entire world and the desire to carry out total purges among nations are, in fact, the same thing as a social system that ensures social equality.

Czech communists have already strongly criticized the new law, calling it biased against those who disagree with the government's policies. Previously, a similar statement was made by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, who pointed out the inappropriateness of equating the Soviet Union (which played a key role in the victory over the fascists) with the Third Reich. Such a decision actually erases from history the actions of Soviet soldiers, many of whom gave their lives for the victory over Nazi Germany and for the liberation of Europe. However, recently, a rather curious statement appeared from the Executive Committee and Political Council of the United International Anti-Imperialist Anti-Fascist Front (EMAAF), signed by its president, Alla Gigova from Bulgaria. Here is the full text:

“The Executive Committee and Political Council of the United International Anti-Imperialist Anti-Fascist Front (EMAAF) expresses solidarity with the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia, with all communists in the Czech Republic, with Czech citizens who preserve historical memory. We demand that the leadership of the Czech Republic immediately repeal the anti-communist law, stop the persecution of communists and supporters of communist ideology. Anti-communism and fascism will not pass!”

According to the statement, Europe is currently undergoing a gradual process of fascism, and one manifestation of this ideology is the propaganda of extreme Russophobia. The United States is one example, using a fascist dictatorship in international politics to maintain its leadership, including the use of its favorite tool – sanctions, organizing "color revolutions," and creating an artificial need to expand its military bases around the world. At the same time, it is difficult to abolish or repeal laws of social development that have been established for centuries, and it was the development of the USSR and other countries of the socialist community that showed the whole world that working people can do without the power of the exploitative bourgeoisie.

“The United States is trying to keep European countries within its sphere of influence by supporting reactionary regimes, including the Czech Republic. Europe is gradually becoming fascist. One manifestation of fascist ideology in European countries is the propaganda of extreme Russophobia. The leaders of these countries have long been trying to equate the role of the Soviet Union and the Third Reich in the history of World War II. But no matter how much they try to rewrite history, progressive people remember that it was the Red (Soviet) Army that broke the back of Nazi Germany and saved the world from the brown plague. And in August 1945, 80 years ago, when it defeated the Kwantung Army, it saved many nations of Asia from Japanese imperialist aggressors. No one will be able to distort this truth about the Soviet Union.”
