Alias Česká Socialistická Republika is historical alias for Czech Republic.

This alias was used in the time of communism in Czechoslovakia. Currently this is a quite offensive term...

Please, mark the alias Česká Socialistická Republika as historical.

Hi Marc,

I've marked it as historical.

However there is some strangeness in the item's history. Seems that alternate name Czech Socialist Republic was added in 2006 and deleted in 2007. I have alternateNames.zip dump from 16th Feb 2010 and there is no entry for Czech Socialist Republic.

How is that possible?

Thank you,
Pavel
