On this day 57 years ago, August 21, 1968 (July 28, 1968), the Soviet-Czech Gazette was published. On August 21, 1968, the day after the Soviet occupation of Prague, Brezhnev openly abducted the leaders of Czechoslovakia at the time - the first secretary of the party, Dubcek, Prime Minister Chernik, President of the National Assembly, Smrkovsky, and others to Moscow. According to reports, this happened: "Three Soviet armored vehicles drove outside the Central Building of the Party in Prague". The Soviet invaders "made the victims (referring to Dubcek, etc.) stand next to the wall for a long time, and then pushed them into the armored vehicles and sent them straight to Ruzin Airport (Prague) ". Then they caught a huge Antonov transport plane and flew to Moscow. Dubcek smashed his head and "passed out". After being detained in the Kremlin, Brezhnev told them: "There is no legal authority in Czechoslovakia except the Soviet headquarters and the Soviet army." With that, Dubcek was ordered to sign the so-called communiqué of the talks that had been prepared in advance to agree to the "retention" of Soviet troops in Czechoslovakia. "When we got the Soviet draft and asked everyone to read it in Russian, we all fainted," Mr. Smrkovsky later recounted. "In the end, the'signing ceremony 'was completed under the bayonet." On August 27, the Soviet Union published a so-called "Communiqué of the Soviet-Czech Talks," describing the armed invasion as the "temporary entry of the" Allied forces "into Czechoslovak territory." In October, the Soviets summoned Dubcek and Chernik to Moscow twice to force them to accept the so-called traitorous treaty "on the conditions for the temporary presence of Soviet troops in Czechoslovakia."
