On the night of August 20, 1968, Soviet forces invaded the Czechoslovakian Socialist Republic to suppress what they saw as a uncontrollable current of rebellion against the Soviet Union. The uprising known in English as the Prague Spring ran from January to August 1968, as the then-Czechoslovak Socialist Republic attempted to liberalize and assert national interests against the Soviet Union. Most of reformist leader Alexander Dubček's goals were not realized, and the only lasting change was that of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic's division into the Czech and Slovak Socialist Republics. This archive brings together intelligence documents, diplomatic communiqués, and commentaries on then-current events, casting light on how LBJ and other global leaders navigated a tense geopolitical situation. This project is a subsection of Documenting the Cold War, a collaboration between the UT's Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, the University of Texas at Austin Libraries, and the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library. The full document collection associated with Documenting the Cold War can be browsed at Texas ScholarWorks, and individual boxes can be browsed here.
