The Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia remembered

Written by Subject: Philosophy: Communism

Forty 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
