Russia said it would launch a criminal investigation on Friday after Czech officials removed a statue of a Soviet-era general in Prague.
The bronze statue of Soviet Marshal Ivan Konev was taken down last week to make way for a World War II memorial, prompting the Russian embassy to protest. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/04/10/russia-opens-probe-after-prague-removes-soviet-statue-a69949

4-29-20 A Prague official has alleged that there was a Russian plot to "liquidate" him and two other Czech politicians, all of whom have clashed with the Kremlin over controversial Soviet memorials in the city.
Prague district 6 mayor Ondrej Kolar told Czech media late Tuesday that he was being kept at an undisclosed location after being granted police protection. "All I can tell you is that I've been granted police protection. It was assigned to me because there's a Russian here who has been given the task of liquidating me," Kolar told the Czech Prima TV station. "Not only me, but also Zdenek Hrib and Pavel Novotny," he added, referring respectively to Prague's mayor and another city official. Prague mayor Zdenek Hrib said on Monday that he was under police protection. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/04/29/prague-official-claims-russians-want-to-liquidate-him-others-a70133

Doesn't one usually get ~10 years in the Gulag for anti-Soviet behavior?, or for anti Chinese Communist behavior?
