dc.description.abstractWhen the Second World War ended, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), established dominance over the region in all its dimensions by establishing satellite governments in the East of Europe that coincided exactly with its own system in political, economic, and social terms. The Eastern European countries, which had come under the full control of the USSR, began to take steps towards producing relatively more independent policies since the 1960s. Since January 1968, Czechoslovakia, under the leadership of Alexander Dubcek, the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPC), also moved towards socialism in a more original way in accordance with its own social dynamics.

After Dubcek's insistence on reform, the Warsaw Pact countries, except Romania, intervened militarily in Czechoslovakia under the leadership of the USSR. The CPC leadership decided not to resist this invasion carried out by the countries afliated with the Warsaw Pact. Soviet forces going into Prague arrested CPC General Secretary Dubcek and Prime Minister Cernik and took them to Moscow. After the “normalization” talks between the parties in Moscow, although CPC General Secretary Dubcek said that they would not back down from the idea of “socialism, humanism, and national independence”, he ultimately agreed to act in accordance with the demands of the USSR.
