Ian Berry Czechs gather under the gun barrel of a Russian tank to protest the invasion. Prague, Czechoslovakia. 1968.
“At 6 a.m. on August 20th 1968 I got a call from the Magnum Bureau Chief in Paris to sa
(...) y that the Russians were moving towards Prague. By the time I picked up a visa and arrived at London’s Heathrow airport, all flights to Vienna, the most logical entry point, were full.
I decided to try Munich, which proved to be my good fortune. That night I was the only foreign photojournalist to get into Czechoslovakia. I watched the tanks roll into Prague and Czech citizens challenge the Russian soldiers and protest the invasion.”
