Prague in late spring is a total fairytale! If you’re looking for the perfect time to visit the City of a Hundred Spires, this is it! Walking through Prague right now feels like stepping into a living painting. #visitprague #europetravel #praguespring #hiddengems #wolink #europetravelhubs
#ColdWar exigencies were used far too often on all sides to justify limiting human freedom. #JanPalach, a #Czech student, died by self-immolation in Prague on #ThisDayInHistory in 1969, protesting the #Soviet invasion of #Czechoslovakia and its forced ending to the #PragueSpring.
Happy Heavenly Birthday to Scott McKenzie

One possible starting point for the #PragueSpring, an effort to democratize #Czechoslovakia and build a new "#Socialism with a Human Face", came on #ThisDayInHistory in 1968 when #AlexanderDubček took power. This political liberalization was doomed by Soviet #ColdWar exigencies.

Delighted to have 'The Spring Mare, a Cold War Fable' published by @thin-skin.bsky.social. In Japan, too young to know about the #PragueSpring, I listened to US Armed Forces radio as my only English language station. The #ColdWar was never far away. #amwriting
