I guess you’re about to see a lot of vaguely left leaning ideas get banned as promotion of communism now.

A nice little 5 year reeducation prison sentence for wrong think in Czechia.

    I guess the fact that a lot of older generation folks who viewed the USSR favourably in post-Soviet states made such a law unfeasible in the past.

    Now that that generation is starting to die off, combined with current geopolitical tensions between NATO/ EU and Russia, and Ukraine basically leading the charge with their ‘de-communization’ policies (which explicitly tied Communism with anything Russian) after the maidan coup, is why other post-Soviet states are doing it now.
