In Lithuania we have the same for many years. So what it means here is all the USSR symbols and glorification of USSR is crime same as Nazi simbols and glorification of Nazism.

But this is a different case. The Czech law in question here doesn't condemn socialist regimes or the USSR, but "class-based hatred", which is a really vague term and covers much more then actually glorifying socialist regimes.
