Before there was Musk, there was state-run Tesla Radio.
From Wikipedia:
The company had a wide range of production: TVs, radio receivers, transistors, integrated circuits, screens, speakers, gramophones, cassette recorders, CD players, videocassette recorders etc. However, quantity usually did not meet the needs of industrial customers and many products gradually became obsolete simply because they were not updated; e.g. one particular type of diode was manufactured for over 30 years without modifications.
My take: The 23 years of Soviet occupation are not forgotten.
Prague (native population 1.3 million) hasn’t returned to its pre-pandemic record of 9.8 million foreign tourists, but it must be getting close. The country has accepted 330,000 Ukrainian refugees — drop in the cosmopolitan bucket.
