Prague 50 years ago - August 1968 - # 12

            August 1968, the Soviet invasion of Prague
In the night between 20 and 21 August 1968 the Soviet tanks entered the Czech capital and put an end to the Prague Spring.

I remember those days like today. I was 23 and I believed in the change that the spring of Prague gave hope. 
Since then I have kept a copy of the weekly "EPOCA" with a special of the Soviet invasion.
I propose a dozen images taken from the magazine. 
To remind.

Then I will continue with the publication of today's images of the wonderful city that is Prague.

Agosto 1968, l’invasione sovietica di Praga
Nella notte tra il 20 e il 21 agosto del 1968 i carri armati sovietici entrano nella capitale cecoslovacca e mettono fine alla Primavera di Praga. 

Ricordo quelle giornate come fosse oggi. Avevo 23 anni e credevo nel cambiamento che la primavera di Praga faceva sperare.  
Da allora ho conservato una copia del settimanale "EPOCA" in edizione speciale sull'invasione sovietica. 
Propongo una decina di immagini tratte da quella rivista.
Per ricordare. 

Poi proseguirò ancora con la pubblicazione di immagini di oggi di quella meravigliosa città che è Praga.
