Features: Alexander Dub?ek became the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in early 1968 and gained worldwide fame for initiating the sweeping "Prague Spring" movement. Later, he was dismissed due to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. After his dismissal, Dub?ek served as a diplomat abroad under surveillance and engaged in labor. He passed away in a mysterious car accident in November 1992. As a key figure in this special political event, how Dub?ek, as a participant, confronted and viewed the major international event of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in the 20th century, and how he elaborated on the origins and developments of the "Prague Spring" movement, has been a focal point of academic interest in recent years. As a representative of the "Prague Spring," Dub?ek, after years of silence, emerged from the shadows to the forefront, objectively and meticulously recounting little-known aspects of the events before and after the "Prague Spring," and offering his personal perspectives on the situation in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries at the time and earlier, their mutual relations, entanglements, and ties with Western countries.
