Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Czechoslovakia 1968 is a 1969 documentary short film (14 minutes) directed by Denis Sanders and Robert M. Fresco.It is a thumbnail history of Czechoslovakia, emphasizing the "Prague Spring" of 1968, a period of liberalization in Czechoslovakia under the leadership of Alexander Dubcek. The film records the ruthless crushing of the Prague Spring by Soviet tanks sent on the orders of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. It was assembled by the United States Information Agency.There were no American film crews on the streets of Prague; the footage was smuggled out of the country by diplomats and later assembled into a film. Co-director Robert M. Fresco then approached Soviet media agency Sovfoto and asked for pre-1968 material, claiming to be making "an educational film." The Russians bought it, and turned over the stills and stock footage that make up the first half of the movie.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Gratuitous English: Someone took the trouble to scrawl "Go home Ivan!" on a wall in English.

La Résistance: The people of Czechoslovakia, taking to the streets, doing what they can to resist the Soviet takeover.

Letting the Air Out of the Band: Played deadly serious. The rousing, inspiring music playing over the footage of Dubcek and the Prague Spring suddently lurches to a halt. Then we see the first clips of Soviet tanks.

Film the Hand: The last shot of the movie is a Soviet soldier reaching out to cover up the lens of a camera.

The Ken Burns Effect: Used occasionally. There's a dramatic pan up a photo of a female Jewish prisoner during the Nazi occupation. There's a zoom in on a Soviet star underlining the Russian takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1945.
