Alexander Dubček came to power in January of that year and started liberalizating reforms. Soviet Union didn't like it so they invaded the country with armies of Warzsaw Pact to stop the reforms on 21.1.1968. We were getting free....and then they came and stopped it. And the totality began. Total totality

And do you think that the Olympics are a good opportunity to make these protests possible?
