Today , August 21st 1968, 55 years ago, the Warsaw pact army, at the behest of Soviet Union, invaded then #Czechoslovakia. I will never forget that day when hope was crushed. Which is why I will keep fighting for fairness and democracy and hope wherever I happen to beâŚ.
Despite their personal experience of 23 years of Russian #occupation, there are many people in #Slovakia who still do not understand that Russia is an evil empire.
The level of atrocities is incomparable between the two, but the message is clear: nothing has changed in the Russian Bearâs den.

Fifty-five years ago Russian fascists-disguised-as-communists invaded the former #Czechoslovakia in what was then the largest military operation in Europe since the end of the 2nd World War. The so-called âOperation Danubeâ is now the second largest post-WW2 military operation in Europe, after the Russian fascists threw off their masks and launched a full-scale war against Ukraine in 2022.

For #MedalMonday here is a piece for the best worker in Pieťżany, a town in #Czechoslovakia, today part of #Slovakia. The medal was issued by Pionýr, or Pioneer Organization of the Socialist Youth Union.
This was a youth Marxist-Leninist organization in communist Czechoslovakia. Although proclaimed to be voluntary, Wikipedia states that every child was expected to join from the age of six. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_Organization_of_the_Socialist_Youth_Union) #History

I was going through the building documentation to look up some stuff, and boom:
- my grand-grandfathers death certificate,
- documents from the First Czechoslovak Republic,
- documents from the Protectorate,
- documents from the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
The European history is wild, it all happened much more recently than I tend to keep in mind.

Because the Nazis boasted that they had erased the name of Lidice from history as well as the map, #Czechoslovakia rebuilt the town as both a living community & and memorial

France decided to keep Oradour as a ruin & memorial, which now poses #HistoricPreservation challenges

June anniversaries:
7 June 1948: outmaneuvered by the #communists, Czechoslovak President Edvard BeneĹĄ resigns, cementing the results of their February coup.
Ironically, #Czechoslovakia was the only place in the region where the communists enjoyed real popularity. The special cancellation of 8 March 1948 celebrates the Czech-Soviet "friendship sealed in blood" 5 years earlier when Czechoslovak & Red Army troops blunted the Nazi advance at Sokolovo, Ukraine

#Bales2023FilmChallenge April 11: Ride a #submarine on #NationalSubmarineDav
Karel Zeman was a Czech film maker who seemingly magically combined live action with #StopMotion #animation. In his VynĂĄlez zkĂĄzy [A Deadly Invention] (1958), loosely based on #JulesVerne's Face au Drapeau, a professor is kidnapped by a fiendish count who wants to get his hands on a terrible super-weapon. Underwater pursuits commence! Based on the engravings that accompany the Verne story, Zeman came up with fantastic highly stylised in-camera effects that make the sets, actors and props resemble cross-hatched etchings.
That's more than enough words, here's the #trailer https://yewtu.be/watch?v=9ZLfe5xad4U
