It was August 21, 1968 that Prague Spring was overrun by the Soviets. Some pictures here, to remember. My favourite shot is below, because it shows the military might juxtaposed against a normal guy, leaving work. What would you do?

These days in history

Wow! Really great pictures. They are really inspiring and reflect the yearning of people for freedom.
I had the privilege of being in Central Europe during the bad old days of Communism and they were very dark days indeed. I also saw the red star come down from public buildings after the fall of Communism. Those were really exciting times.
Thanks for reminding me of those great events.
Thanks, Paul, for your comment. Obviously this moment in time is near and dear to my heart, since it is this day in history that made me Canadian.
