“Make no mistake: the Czech Republic is not Chechnya. That’s a distinction the Czech ambassador to the United States wants to make crystal clear after news emerged that the two suspects in Boston Marathon bombing had Chechen origins. ‘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,’ Petr Gandalovic, the Czech ambassador, wrote on the embassy’s website on Friday. The unusual statement followed a series of Twitter messages from people who apparently struggled to distinguish the two places with similar names.”
