Monday will be the 50th anniversary of the Soviet Crushing of the Prague Spring.
In 1956, Hungary rose up against Soviet oppression and tried to establish a multi-party liberal democracy. The Soviets crushed it because the Communist party was to be the only party allowed.
In 1968, the Czechoslovaks rose up, and agreed that the Communist party would be the only party, but they wanted to "put a human face on it." Apparently humanity is deeply offensive to the Soviets, so they sent the tanks in again.

I hope old people remember and young people today realize just how evil the Soviet empire was.
