English term or phrase: to have a complicated history with another nation
Greetings

In a narrative, a German who speaks fluent Russian goes to the Czech Republic and is upset as all his attempts to use his Russian are frustrated – they all flatly refuse to speak Russian with him, even if they don't know German or English but only Czech.

When he inquires why, a man tells him, “We Czechs have a complicated history with the Russians and their language.”

The man isn’t seeking to put the blame on anyone but is, I think, making the point that people don't want to speak Russian as a result of the Russian language (amongst other things) having been imposed on the Czechs by force for many years.

The usage is quite idiomatic and there is quite a lot of room for freedom in rendering it.

Best wishes, and many thanks,
