The end of the Prague Spring | History Stories

In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Russia’s attack on Ukraine is stirring up memories and drawing historic parallels: In 1968, in what was then Czechoslovakia, also known as CSSR, a reform movement took to the streets. Since the start of 1968, journalists in Prague were ignoring state censorship. Alexander Dubcek, head of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, decided not to intervene, hoping that a path to a more liberal and democratic socialism could be paved – and hoping that Moscow would allow it. The CSSR-Communists wanted to stay in the Soviet-dominated Eastern bloc. But the rulers in Moscow feared that more freedom in Prague could spread, questioning the Communist party in neighboring countries. In this episode of History Stories we retrace the so-called “Prague Spring” which ended on August 21, 1968.
