Dark Russia

Dark Russia
It's a historical fact. They wanted freedom and for a time it felt real. But occupying forces occupied some more. Invading them with 2000 tanks and 500,000 men. Soviet style. 

100 freedom wanting people were killed. 

Their Prague Spring annihilated. Today the Neo Soviet regime made a TV docu. It's like blaming NATO for the 1968 invasion. The docu makers claimed a Nato backed "armed coup" was being planned under the cover of the "legend of peaceful civilian uprising with the romantic name of the Prague Spring". 

All lies. 

Ambassadors were summoned to explain why history was rewritten. And protests heard. Normally good relations soured. What next? A new invasion? Neo Soviet lies who also said the Warsaw Pact was defensive. Labelling NATO the aggressors. 
History deniers of the highest order.
