Participants entering troops in Czechoslovakia do not want to give veteran status
The scandal continues over the bill proposing to give status of veterans of the fighting of citizens who in 1968 participated as military personnel of the Soviet Army in the introduction of troops into Czechoslovakia.
The bill on granting participants of the events of 1968 the status of war veterans is supported by the factions of the Communist Party, LDPR, and Just Russia. Interestingly, United Russia is silent.
