Today in history: Aug. 21 marks the 40th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, ending the country’s democratic reform movement called the Prague Spring. Hospodarske Noviny and Lidove Noviny in Prague, Czech Republic, mark the anniversary, and Mladá Fronta DNES also in Prague reprints a photo from the time and refers to a special magazine.
Slovakia was once a part of Czechoslovakia, and Alexander Dubcek, who led the Prague Spring, was a Slovak. With those ties, SME in Bratislava also noted the anniversary in photo and text.
