On August 21, Czechs mark 57 years since the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact troops. The Prague Spring was silenced and the communist regime was prolonged for more than 20 years. On this day a commemorative ceremony in front of the Czech Radio headquarters honors the victims, those who resisted, and those who still live with those memories. | Radio Prague
