Prague has hosted the ceremony of decorating  Czech veterans with the Russian medal  commemorating the 65th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Russia’s Ambassador to Prague Alexey Fedotov, on the behalf of president Medvedev, decorated soldiers who fought for the Red Army in the First Czechoslovak Army Corps of  General Svoboda. The Czech President’s spokesman  Irzhy Vaigl made a speech warning against the revision of WW2 history. He believes that attempts to “rewrite” the past may end in a catastrophe. «Our people will always be grateful to the Soviet army for the great losses it suffered during the liberation of Czechoslovakia from the Nazis», - he said.  1,700  soldiers were decorated with the Russian medals in the Czech Republic
