How hard was the wrist of the big brother of the USSR?

On the morning of August 21, 1968, the door to the conference room of the headquarters of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPZ) in Prague was broken open by several Soviet KGB officers. The guns of the Soviet troops were pointed at themAt that time, he was the first secretary of the Czech Communist Partyand several other high-ranking leaders of the Czech Communist Party, and the pro-Soviet elements of the Czech Communist Party who came in soon after him announced to Dubcek: Comrade Dubcek, in the name of the workers and peasants, you have been arrested.

Czechoslovakia(1918-1992) was a country located in the middle of Europe, and its territorial boundaries have changed many times throughout history. Since the Middle Ages, it has been a world leader in terms of culture, science and technology, and its GDP jumped to the sixth place in the world in 1945. Such an achievement is already for this small country that does not mention a few words in history textbooks in many countriesQin Shi Huang went to the grave - won and cried

After the end of World War II, the old European aristocracy was already under Hitler's heavy blows, and China had no industrial base, and soon entered the great war of liberation under the operation of President Chiang, and there were only countries in the world that could still stand upThe United States, which made war moneywithThe Soviet Union, which was seen as a burial of the hopes of the old world, other countries can only choose to join both lineups voluntarily or be voluntarily joined. Czechoslovakia, located on the Eastern European Plain, was undoubtedly included in the Soviet sphere of influence and embarked on the path of Soviet-style socialist development.

However, the national conditions of each country are different, and the Soviet Union itself has made it upSocialism with Soviet characteristicsI can't even play it anymore, let alone the imposed Czechoslovakia, which has been developing for more than 20 years, if not thriving, at least there is no progress. The pace of economic development has continued to decline, and the people are very dissatisfied with the status quo and strongly demand reform and take the road of independence and self-determination that suits the national conditions of their own country.

In January 1968, the Czech Communist Party held a plenary session, and the reformist leader Dubcek became the first secretary of the Czech Communist Party. As soon as Comrade Du came to power, he immediately boldly declared war on the "Soviet model" and declared that he would carry out "a socialist rejuvenation." He soon published a "Program of Action" in early April, proposing reform measures in the economy, the party's leadership system, and the news media. It seems to be full of life, everything is competing, and spring in Prague has arrived.

As socialists, it is quite correct to realistically reform the ills of the system. But this Comrade Du didn't seem to look at the calendar before speaking, it was 1968! The then leader of the USSR was none other than the laureate of the Order of the Hero of the Soviet Union, the socialist gravedigger, the leader of revisionism, the most disloyal supporter of Comrade LeninBrezhnev

From the perspective of future generations, we know that we are counting on Su Xunzong Brezhnev to support countries in exploring their own development pathsIt's better to hit the United States and let them vote for the Communist Party, at least provoke the ridicule of the Americans, and you can still hear it. Sure enough, as soon as Dubcek announced the reforms, the Soviet Union immediately reacted: I see that you Dubcek is reallyPlanting gourds at the door of the house - taking yourself as your master

On March 23, Brezhnev convened a meeting of the leaders of the communist parties of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in East Germany. Dubcek did not know what was going to be discussed at the meeting until the chairman of the meeting announced the main agenda of the meetingThe current situation in the Czech Republic。Dubcek couldn't help but be furious, Mr. Bo, Mr. BoThis calf makes you pretend to be vivid, If you want to scold, just scold, you have to pull me out for a meeting, now it's okay, I amBare ass grinding - turning in circles and embarrassingnowWhy bother?

Despite being "triaged" in the GDR, Dubcek continued to push forward with reforms after returning home. Although the market economy was introduced, the share of the state-owned economy in the economy of Czechoslovakia was still the leading compared to the socialist countries of East Germany, Poland, Hungary and other countries.

Labor Day is fast approaching, and the celebratory parade in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, arrives as scheduled. Dubcek was deeply impressed by this year's march, because it was not organized in the past, and the march was spontaneously attended by the masses, deciding for themselves what slogans to shout and what slogans to raise, mostly in support of the reform, and there were criticisms, but they were not restricted. Seeing this grand occasion, Dubcek was very satisfied, and the spring breeze in Prague looked like it was going to be summer.

On July 14, the Soviet Union brought Poland and other countries to a meeting in Warsaw and invited Dubcek to participate. Dubcek realized, this wave, ah, this wave is spikes stepping on the mud, flipping pomegranate skin, you Brezhnev criticized me as a medal, and you can't stop again and again?

Of course, people don't come, words have to be brought to you. The Soviet Union sent the "Warsaw Letter" to the Czech Communist Party, the general content of which was that the comrades generally believed that the Czech Communist Party was not reforming, it was anti-revolutionary, and it was very dangerousBig Brother advises you to stop, and if you don't stop it, Big Brother can only help you chop your hands

Prague's newspapers soon published the letter with a refutation.

Now, in Mr. Bo's opinion, it is trueBig Brother suspends you, Big Brother picks up the dishes, you transfer the table, don't you give face! In Eastern Europe, you still want to rebel against Mr. Bo, but you can't do it!

On July 17, Brezhnev called Dubcek and asked for talks with the CPZ Presidium on the 20th. The main thing is that I haven't seen each other for a long time, I miss you, I want to see if you are still alive and vivid, I have no other ideas, I am my own brother! The location is up to you, you can come to Kyiv, you can come to Moscow, if you want, you can also do it at the KGB headquarters, it's all negotiable!

Mr. Bo's pit is so shallow that it makes people wonder if he is as old and confused as Biden. This ** is a negotiation meeting, this is simply telling the Czech Communist Party**, I am going to arrest you now, you tie yourself up, pack it up and send it to me.

Of course, Dubcek rejected President Bo's proposal, saying that the talks could only be held in the Czech Republic, otherwise the talks would not be avoided. Mr. Bo is also atmospheric, you can, of courseBig Brother cares for every socialist brother as he is！However, considering that the big brother was too old to travel far, the location was set in Syrna, a small Czech town on the border with the Czech Republic.

The talks began on July 20 in the meeting room at the local Railroad Workers' Club. Not surprisingly, the meeting was deadlocked from the outset, with no overlap in the positions of the two sidesYou tell me the city gate building, and I'll pull the hip shaft for you

Brezhnev was the first to attack, throwing a bundle of newspapers on the table that had reported on the reform of the Czech Communist Party, and angrily denounced: "You are doing what imperialism wants you to do, you madmen have degenerated into imperialist minions!" "Righteous and righteous speakers are quite like a staunch Marxist-Leninist.

Dubcek, on the other hand, showed no weakness and pointed out that the "Program of Action" is completely in line with Marxism-Leninism and is also most in line with the current national conditions of Czechoslovakia, and that this is true socialism.

The Soviet side went on to accuse the "Program of Action" of liberalization and a vain attempt to restore capitalism, and demanded that the Czech Communist Party immediately restore the censorship system. At the same time, the Soviet side also put forward a list of people who should be dismissed, which is close to 300 people, including several members of the presidium of the Czech Communist Party. It is true that the Czech Communist Party is regarded as the Czech state committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Before the start of the meeting, the CPZ received thousands of letters and telegrams from all over the country, in which people everywhere expressed their support for the CPZ's position under the slogan: ".Stand with us and we'll support you

There is no doubt that in a socialist country under the leadership of the Communist Party, the voice of the people should be the party's guide to action. Dubcek told the Soviet side what the people of Czechoslovakia were saying.

Although the great man of China told the world early on that the Soviet rulers were the real great-power chauvinists, the degree of degeneration of Big Brother was far beyond Dubcek's imagination. In the face of the voice of the Czech people, Brezhnev said arrogantly:As soon as I gave the next order, I would immediately receive tons of such letters

Dubcek angrily shot back: "We didn't give orders at all, they were all signed by the masses spontaneously!" ”

Brezhnev said".Don't quibble, if this kind of activity is not approved, it is a serious a**ism

The next day, the Soviet side sentSecretary of the Party of the Ministry of UkraineBe the first to speak. For this secretary, the importance of the status of a Slav seems to be ahead of that of a Communist, so the attitude towards the disobedient Dubcek is like just blowing a bottle of vodkaYou send the heavenly spirit cap, and the master twists the wine bottle cap, and at Dubcek he used the most fierce words to make a personal attack.

Dubcek couldn't bear it anymore and got up and walked out of the conference room with the other CPZ delegates to show his cousin. The meeting was interrupted for a long time, and then it went on loosely. As for the harvest, it is difficult to call the war of words between the two sides accusing each other of being traitors to socialism, and the cordial greetings to each other's families.

Remote control doesn't work, and there's no benefit to be gained from face-to-face confrontation, which is not acceptable to Big Brother. Big Brother can tolerate you saying that his plane is not as big as the Americans, and it can also accept you criticizing him for not having as much welfare as the Americans, but,You must not say Big Brother can't。Czechoslovakia has this attitude, and if it doesn't take some action, other Eastern European countries may really have to calculate:Big brother, is it okay or not?

Late at night on August 20, 1968, a Soviet An-24AirlinersClaiming a mechanical failure, requesting an emergency landing at Prague International Airport. The ground tower approved the application. But as soon as the plane landed, as soon as the cabin door opened, it opened the eyes of the airport personnel, just as there is no wife in the wife's cake, and there are no passengers in the passenger plane!

Jumping out of the hatch is7th Airborne Division of the USSRof more than 100 soldiers, they quickly seized the conning tower and took over the airfield. Then one Soviet transport plane after another landed in PragueLight tanks, armored vehicles, artilleryIt was parachuted into the capital of Czechoslovakia. At the same time, under Big Brother, Poland, East Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, etcThe Warsaw Pact coalition forces were about 250,000 men and 2,000 tanksFrom all directions drove into Czechoslovakia. The armed invasion began.

In the face of the invasion of the Soviet army, the Czech Communist Party, the Czech Republic, the Czechoslovak National Front and other circles immediately issued a statement condemning the aggression of the Soviet Union and other countries.

Receiving the news, Buducek quickly made a decision and ordered the Czech troopsDon't resist。"I will have the blood of thousands on my hands, but there will be no hope of victory. ”

Early in the morning of the 21st,Border guards of the KGB of the USSRUnder the leadership of the pro-Soviet elements of the Czech Communist Party, he broke into the Czech Communist Party**. Since Dubcek had previously demanded that the senior party leaders not be allowed to run away and that they must not give up power to the puppet **, the KGB directly wiped out the leaders of the reformist faction of the Czech Communist Party this time, which can be described as suchQin II touched the electric door - won again

So there is the opening scene, the Czech Communist traitors in the name of the workers and peasants announced that Dubcek had been arrested, and the KGB officers announced that from now on, you reformists would be subjectedBig Brother protection, everyone is guarded by soldiers with guns, is this blessing still small?

Dubcek and several other high-ranking party and government officials were escorted into armored vehicles to Prague airport, where they were escorted to Moscow. Big Brother spent so much manpower and material resources to transport a few of them to Moscow, of course, not to invite them to negotiate again. Welcome to the Lubyanka Grand Hotel (the headquarters building of the KGB, the Soviet secret service), for seven men!

But the Czech Communist Party also showed extraordinary resilience and rich experience in the struggle at this time. August 22ndThe 14th National Congress of the Czech Republic of China was extraordinaryHeld secretly in a factory in Prague, the congress adopted a letter to the people of the whole country, revealing to the people of the whole country and to the socialist countries of the whole world the imperialist acts of the Soviet revisionist clique in brazenly invading other countries and imprisoning their party secretariesAt the same time, the imprisoned Dubcek and others were elected as members of the presidium of the Czech Communist Party, and the pro-Soviet elements in the leading group were eliminated, thus thwarting the Soviet Union's vain attempt to prop up a pro-Soviet regime.

At the same time, countless Czech people spontaneously took to the streets of Prague to defend their countryThe people revolted, also began. At first, peopleSpontaneous group ** walland piled buses in the middle of the road in an attempt to stop the advance of the torrent of Soviet steel.

As the conflict escalated, people began to move barricades again, ** known as "Molotov cocktail"), throwing stones,Resolutely fought against the Soviet troops

But in the eyes of the Soviet army, these Czechs are so unwelcoming to us, this is not pureEunuch meeting - nonsense! It tells us that the Czechs are in need of "our fraternal assistance", and these people don't like to welcome the king, but they still want us to be physically together, and there is still a royal law! Is there still a law? Is anyone still in charge of this?

In essence, these big-headed soldiers who carry out orders are also the most ordinary Soviet people, and what kind of fierce contradictions can there be between the people who belong to the big socialist family? Countless Czechs flocked to itClimb on the tanks of the Soviet troops, armored vehicles, angrily reprimanded, cried, and justified the Soviet soldiers on the carTrying to get them lost

Some Czechs later recalled that at first they thought the Soviet soldiers were fierce and terrible imperialist invaders, but later found that the faces of the young men in the armored vehicles were sticking their heads outVery young and confused, some of them come from afarRural SiberiaThey don't know why the Czechs treat themselves so badly, even in the face of excited CzechsVery nervous and scared

* The campaign was suppressed within a week, with Czechoslovakia losing 80 civilians in the unrest, while the Warsaw Pact lost 98 soldiers.

On 27 August 1968, after six days in detention, Dubcek returned to Prague. Although at this time he was still the first secretary of the Czech Communist Party, and bluntly said that he would not be a puppet, but in fact he had become a plaything in the hands of Brezhnev. Spring in Prague is over.

The torrent of steel could not suppress the raging fire of the people, and the resistance of the people of Czechoslovakia against the Soviet Union never stopped, and in 1968 and 1969 many large-scale anti-Soviet demonstrations broke out. Annoyed, Brezhnev dismissed Dubcek on the grounds of "weakness and incompetence" and replaced him with a pro-Soviet man in charge of the Czech Communist Party.

Immediately, the purge within the Czech Republic began, starting from Dubcek, we must open all those who support Dubcek's reforms, and we must approve all those who oppose "Soviet aid".Two whatevers

Eventually, the Czech RepublicA third of the partywas purged, the whole country2 million peopleEncountered.

In December 1989, the Soviet Union declared that "interference in the internal affairs of the Czech Republic is reprehensible." ”

In December 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed. In December 1992, Czechoslovakia was dissolved. The international communist movement has fallen into a trough.

After 20 years, the "Prague Spring" finally ushered in a rehabilitation, but the spring breeze did not blow to Prague again. Will the spring breeze come? When will you come back? Maybe the next generation, maybe it will never come.

It is worth mentioning that when the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia, the Western countries, including the United States, which had always held high the banner of human rights, chose to remain silent and recognized the Soviet Union's influence in Eastern Europe. This wave is that the United States and the Soviet Union are standing in a trench again, so-calledThe United States treats the symptoms, the Soviet Union treats the root cause, and the United States and the Soviet Union make specimens

And the only major power in the world that denounces the Su Xiu group is inChina under the leadership。On August 1968, the people** published articles criticizing the atrocities of the Soviet Union on the front page, and the rhetoric was fierce and unheard in the world.

The brazen dispatch of troops by the Soviet revisionist traitor clique this time is the result of the extremely acute contradictions within the entire modern revisionist clique. It is the result of the extremely acute contradiction between US imperialism and modern revisionism in the Soviet Union over Eastern Europe. It was the result of the collusion between the United States and the Soviet Union in a vain attempt to redivide the world. For a long time, there have been profound contradictions and fierce struggles between the Soviet revisionist clique and the revisionist clique in Eastern European countries. Ever since the Khrushchev revisionist traitor clique came to power, they have not been ashamed to engage in a series of dirty deals with US imperialism.

The 700 million Chinese people, armed with the ideology of the Soviet Union, unswervingly stand on the side of the revolutionary people of the Soviet Union, on the side of the revolutionary people of Czechoslovakia, and on the side of the revolutionary people of the whole world who oppose imperialism, modern revisionism, and reactionaries in various countries. The Chinese people resolutely support the struggle of the people of the world against US imperialism and modern revisionism in the Soviet Union. The Chinese people resolutely support the proletariat and all revolutionary people in the countries in power in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and other countries where modern revisionist groups are in power, rise up to overthrow the reactionary rule of modern revisionism, regain political power in their own hands, and return their motherland to the road of proletariat and socialism. We are convinced that such a day will come!

As soon as the cannon sounded in the Winter Palace, the world's first proletarian-led country was established in the Tsarist Russian Empire, countless workers, peasants, Red Army soldiers and other people at the lowest level shed their blood for this regime, and countless Western elites were willing to be "traitors" for the sake of communist ideals to send technology and intelligence to this country; And when the country's leaders no longer stand with the people, no longer speak for the poor people of the world, and only use violence to achieve their own interests, it is just a new Tsarist Russia with a red skin.
