Communists accused of re-writing history

The Czech-Moravian Communist Party has been accused of re-writing history following a recent statement issued by the party to mark the anniversary of the 1938 Munich agreement. The statement by the communists places heavy emphasis on the actions of the Soviet Union to liberate Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, while critics asserts that it neglects to mention either Western Allied efforts, or the initial opposition to Nazism by the West at a time when the Nazis and the USSR were essentially allies under the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact. The communist statement also alludes to the Munich Agreement as being a betrayal by the West. Historians quoted by the Czech online news-server Aktualne.cz have dismissed the statements as biased in favour of Russia, which they argue was just as, if not more hesitant to save or protect Czechoslovakia during the early part of WWII.
