@rah@rah@feddit.uk said in a cross-post:

"How do you feel about the Russian Federation's treatment of them?

How do you feel about The Plastic People of the Universe? How do you feel about the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic's treatment of them?"

Anyone have an answer? I'm not that well-read on this subject.

The Plastic People of the Universe

never heard of them before, browsing wikipedia it sounds like the Czechoslovakian government was freaking out over nothing and should have left be, but that wiki wasn't much to go on :shrug-outta-hecks:

Kinda reminds me of the USSR clamping down on christian cultural expression; unnecessary and tactically just gives reactionary movements an inroad they wouldn't otherwise have.
