Summary

Introduction

The article deals with how the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 and the following events have been reflected in the news. Při studiu novinových článků jsme se vzhledem k rozsahu tohoto článku zaměřili na texty otištěné v druhé polovině srpna roku 1968 a pak vždy v několika dnech před a po desetiletých výročích vpádu vojsk do Československa, tedy v roce 1978, 1988, 1998, 2008 a 2018. Pochopitelně tak nezachycujeme přesně ta zlomová výročí v dějinách ČSSR i SSSR a nástupnických států, kdy by bylo možné zaznamenat výrazné proměny v reflexi vpádu vojsk do Československa z roku na rok.
