Victims - dead - protest - Prague

Troops of the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies invaded Czechoslovakia on August 21, 1968, to halt political liberalization in the country called the Prague Spring. Prague residents try to rescue victims trampled under a bus crushed by a Soviet tank at Prague headquarters of the Czechoslovak Radio. Buses were used as a barricade set up in an effort to stop the tanks. CTK Photo/Libor Hajsky
