Uh, wait a minute

Victims of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 are in line to receive a one-off payment in compensation from the Czech government.

Let me get this straight. The Soviet army (and troops from other Warsaw Pact countries: East Germany, Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria) invade Czechoslovakia and occupy the country. Now the invaded nation is paying reparations for the action of the invaders? Shouldn't the Russian government be paying for this?

I realize the Czech government is better able to afford such payments, although they are only work out to about $700-1400 a person, but still.
