Czechoslovakia 1968. We Don't Want to Live on Our Knees

Description

The Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 provides a case study in Soviet imperialism. The program follows as Alexander Dubcek relaxes control, reduces police power, permits criticism of the government and the organization of alternative political parties; then shows the sudden about-face of the Russians, and the invasion and subjugation of Czechoslovakia, as the Iron Curtain came down with a thud.
