“Literary Guide: 1968” is timed to coincide with the forty-fifth anniversary of the invasion of Prague by Soviet tanks (troops of the “Warsaw Pact countries,” according to the official wording of that time). And the block of memorial materials opens with poems by Ivan Divis (1924–1999) under the general title “From books of later years." The frantic pathos and hopeless darkness of these poems match the poet’s martyr’s biography, which is given an idea by their translator and the author of a short introduction, the Russian “Czech” Sergei Magid (1947). He also wrote the story “Report for August”, written from the perspective of a Soviet tanker - a participant in those events that, quite possibly, the writer once was. Next is the Czech historian Adam Hradilek (1976) with an afterword to the Czech edition of Natalia Gorbanevskaya’s collection “Noon” " - about the demonstration on Red Square on August 25, 1968. Adam Hradilek talks about the misadventures with the publication of this book, the author of which “never advocated creating a halo around her own participation in the action and always tried to draw maximum attention to the actions of other Soviet citizens who dared to protest.” Translation by Nina Falkowska. And the “Literary Guide” ends with an article by the Czech political scientist and journalist Jiri Just (1983) “The floor is given to witnesses,” trying to debunk the myth of indifference towards the tragedy of the Prague Spring, at least universally.
