World remembering Prague spring


40 years ago tanks rolled into Czechoslovakia to stop the country's liberal reforms. Its leaders were trying to create what they called 'socialism with a human face'. Military intervention by the USSR and other countries of the Warsaw pact put a stop to the changes. Today in Prague there are no tanks and virtually no reminder of the dramatic events that took place here in 1968.

Over 70 people were killed in the country durning the invasion. All czechs do know what happend in 68. My family was sepated due to 68and it angers me that the pretend that the czechs are forgetting about it, RT obviously likes to present biased surveys and selective interviewing to aid its praopaganda. To top it all off, the news article was not ment to remember prague spring but to be anti american

Unbelieveble, that russian Propaganda!Well, if I think about it, I do understand that russian governement holds TV full of propaganda like this, it's typical behaviour of this present "frustrated USSR", now called Russian federation.

But, for me, it is impossible to understand that there exists someone who believes them. Russia surely can work with mind of some people...for it's imperial interests.

Similar to all that propaganda about invasion of Georgia.
