The Tyranny of Fraternal Assistance

Next Thursday will be the 35th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Prague, a vile act which put an iron blanket over freedom in Central Europe for the next 21 years. The University of Michigan has an interesting website full of documents and posters from the first few days after the tanks rolled in.

My generation of Czechoslovak exiles are the Cold War's Forgotten People

This is the kind of observations and links all forgotten exiles like me dream of, Eugene.
Ta!

Most people probably could not point to High Tatra Moutains on a map.

Cold River is microcosm of the Cold War. Brother's cold hand drowned two young men in the Morava River.
