Tank riders on a Valentine tank, 11th Guards Army, 3rd Belorussian Front, October 16th, 1944. This is an early type of Valentine (a Mk.II or Mk.IV) with a 2-pounder gun that would have been ineffective against most enemy tanks still fielded.

Residents of Prague greet Marshal I.S. Konev, commander of the 1st Ukrainian Front, whose troops liberated Prague from German troops on May 9-12, 1945. In 75 years "grateful descendants" will demolish the monument to the Liberator Marshal

The last sentence needs more context, really. The main reasons for removing his statue were his post-war actions, mainly for leading the suppression of Hungarian uprising in 1956 and his involvement in delegation that was gathering informations prior to Warsaw Pact forces invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Add to it, that for a lot of people the arrival of Soviet forces has a "bad taste" at least, considering what followed in the next months, years and decades in Czechoslovakia. And that includes the people, that were celebrating their arrival at the beginning.
