       | Some interesting things for context:
       | 
       | - Russian embassy in Prague is one of the biggest embassies in CZ
       | 
       | - our president is strongly leaning to Russia, lobbying for
       | Sputnik V vaccine even though it's not approved, and verbally
       | dismisses sanctions against Russia
       | 
       | - all of this is happening during preparations of Dukovany
       | nuclear power plant expansion, where Russian Rosatom still wasn't
       | dismissed despite clear security risks

         | Yet Zeman agreed with Babis on the decision of the secret
         | services finding which led to the expulsion of Russian
         | diplomats.
         | 
         | I'm curious about the Dukovany NPP part here - I haven't seen
         | any news services in Poland reporting on this in context of the
         | expulsion.

       | Interesting: "The Czech police on Saturday evening released
       | images of two men wanted for serious offences. The two are
       | Anatoly Chepig and Alexander Mishkin, the same Russian GRU agents
       | believed to have carried out a failed assassination attempt using
       | the poison Novichok in Salisbury in the UK in 2018."

       | The KGB seems like a very efficient operation.
