In 1968, Czechoslovakia, part of the Soviet bloc in 1948, is entering a period of liberalization. The leader of the Czechoslovak Communist Party intends to give socialism "a human face". Abolish censorship, restore civil liberties ... This is the program of Alexander Dubcek enthusiastically taken up by students and intellectuals.


For socialism with a human face


Since the mid-1960s, students appear sporadically against censorship. Modest events however can give an impetus to the process of liberalization, called "Prague Spring", which begins in January 1968. Dubcek's reformist commitment is reflected in the population. Reflected in the "Manifesto of 2000 words", in June 1968, signed by 70 people who demand the liquidation of the old regime.

The Kremlin fears meanwhile the Czech adventure of "socialism with a human face" gives ideas to other democratic republics of the Soviet bloc. From July, Brezhnev requires the restoration of order and especially the abolition of political pluralism just restored. To show its determination and make an impression, it sends the troops of the Warsaw Pact during the night of August 20 to 21 in order to crush the Czechoslovak movement. Alexander Dubcek was arrested and transferred to Moscow.


Bloody repression 


The first day, people decided to peacefully resist the Soviet intervention. The events are numerous, especially in Prague. The demonstrators, mostly students, besiege tanks. The forces of the Warsaw Pact order to suppress dissent. Therefore, in a few days, clashes are a little more than a hundred dead and thousands injured across the country. In autumn, it is the workers who are mobilizing. However, the crackdown weaken the movement until its exhaustion in January 1969. Desperate, a student, Jan Palach set himself on fire January 16, 1969. Hundreds of thousands of people attend the funeral of the man who became the legendary figure of the student protests in Czechoslovakia.
