Abstract:
The article deals with how the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 and the following events have been reflected in the news. The authors analyse texts from selected important Czechoslovak, Soviet and also later Czech and Russian newspapers in 1968 and also after each ten year anniversary of the Soviet invasion. The authors point out the changes in both characterization and evaluation of the events of August 1968 throughout the decades. The article emphasises the changes that have occurred in Russian press from the 1990s to the current era.
