World remembering Prague spring

40 years ago tanks rolled into Czechoslovakia to stop the country's liberal reforms. Its leaders were trying to create what they called 'socialism with a human face'. Military intervention by the USSR and other countries of the Warsaw pact put a stop to the changes. Today in Prague there are no tanks and virtually no reminder of the dramatic events that took place here in 1968.

Jesus Christ. How stupid do the Russians think people are? This is utter rubbish. Are you watching this Czechs? Are you watching this rubbish? This is why you need to decide whether or not you want to be a civilised Western nation or a vassal of the Russian gangsters. And to any Western "journalists" working for Russia Today, shame on you, you are not journalists, just peddlers of dangerous and fallacious rubbish. Shame on you.

I cannot believe this Russian propaganda!!! This is actually my first post on YouTube ever because I just had to react. People in the Czech Republic remember this event very well. It was vicious and deceitful attack. And what about the bullshit about pulling the tank on fire away? It is well documented that people were killed across the country!!! I am going to feked up country - Russia in 2 weeks and it makes me sick now. Jan Kral, Czech Rep.

Friggin russian scam! Nothing brutal? They just shot about 200 people, invaded our country, destroyed our national museum, tried to restore socialist order, arrested a lot of people.

Russian scum...lived in a flawed society....biased report??

Lol.....the Russians completely smashed Czechoslovakia. Socialism with a human face was the best idea in Eastern Europe...stupid communists

The whole video seems to be in this tone: Look, we (Russians) had to do it in order to maintain the status quo in Europe... We werent that bad... See, wounds have healed anyway, the city looks good now, and the youngsters don't care, so nothing bad has happened.

Shame on you, RT. Russian mentality makes me sick. They never have experienced true democracy, they are used to live in lie, they are used to live in fear and, worse of all, they want to export this system everywhere. Let me vomit.

Russia is totally controlling this report!!! Nice media bias lol the Russians weren't so kind!!! Actually the western governments expressed no interest in Czechoslovakia and vowed to maintain neutrality!!! Liars!

Over 70 people were killed in the country durning the invasion. All czechs do know what happend in 68. My family was sepated due to 68and it angers me that the pretend that the czechs are forgetting about it, RT obviously likes to present biased surveys and selective interviewing to aid its praopaganda. To top it all off, the news article was not ment to remember prague spring but to be anti american

Unbelieveble, that russian Propaganda!

Well, if I think about it, I do understand that russian governement holds TV full of propaganda like this, it's typical behaviour of this present "frustrated USSR", now called Russian federation.

But, for me, it is impossible to understand that there exists someone who believes them. Russia surely can work with mind of some people...for it's imperial interests.

Similar to all that propaganda about invasion of Georgia.
