Eco damage caused by Soviets will take many much more time and money

Further elimination of environmental damage to land used by the Soviet Army during the 1970s and 1980s will cost the state another 200 million crowns and last until 2016, the Ministry of the Environment announced today. As of the end of last year, the Czech Republic had spent 1.4 billion crowns on the effort. The Soviet Army used 110 locations in the Czech Republic, 60 of which suffered serious environmental damage.
