The Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia remembered
Written by Ernest Hancock Subject: Philosophy: CommunismForty years ago last week, the Soviet Union sent armored tanks into Czechoslovakia, the beginning of 21 years of Soviet oppression. In light of our upcoming dinner with Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus and the recent Russian invasion of Georgia, I thought you might appreciate these two articles that shed light on this piece of history: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/ 08/24/opinion/24pehe.html?_r= 1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print and http://www.slate.com/id/ 2198529/
We hope you’ll be able to join us for this timely celebration of freedom. To reserve your seats, visit www.goldwaterinstitute.org, or email Jess Yescalis at jyescalis@goldwaterinstitute. org.
Sincerely,
Darcy A. Olsen
Please join the Goldwater Institute for a special twentieth anniversary celebration with Vaclav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic and recipient of this year’s Barry Goldwater Award for Liberty. As the former Prime Minister and current President of the Czech Republic, Klaus transformed a failed communist state into one of Europe’s freest and fastest growing economies. A champion of free markets, President Klaus has been a steadfast friend of the United States and an outspoken advocate for freedom around the world.
