The Boston Marathon suspects have been connected to Chechnya by pretty much
every major news outlet at this point, and it’s becoming increasingly clear
that a good number of Americans have no idea where Chechnya is, among other
things. In fact, it’s gotten to the point where the ambassador of the
Czech Republic felt the need to issue a statement informing the American
people that, you know, the Czech Republic actually isn’t Chechnya. Sigh.
Petr Gandalovič's statement is short and sweet, beginning with him
essentially conveying his condolences. Then it gets to the important bit,
because nobody wants their country mistakenly connected with an attack like
this:
"As more information on the origin of the alleged perpetrators is coming to
light, I am concerned to note in the social media a most unfortunate
misunderstanding in this respect. The Czech Republic and Chechnya are two
very different entities – the Czech Republic is a Central European country;
Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation."
