The grave site of many Russians killed in Prague during WWII.

And hot take here... Even though i consider myself a socialist, i despise the hammer and sickle. I see it as no better than a swastika. If you need these symbols for your ideology then you should reflect inward a bit more.

The funny thing is, that these symbols have been made illegal to use in Czechia since January (esp. For promoting communism).

I wasn't aware of that. Are there plans to remove them from places like this memorial, or is it just contemporary uses that are banned?

Im pretty sure it's for contemporary uses (esp., political - there's still a communist party here).
