مستخلص: The article offers information on the Prague Spring, which refers to a period of liberalisation in Czechoslovakia following the death of Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin, that lasted from January 1968 until August 1968. Topics discussed include books by Milan Kundera which reveal the hope that he and many others felt during this time, the reasons why the Prague Spring was short-lived, and indications that its leader, Alexander Dubcek, never meant to create profound political change.
