Summary
Czechoslovakia had a democratic tradition that would suffer during the turmoil in this time period. In 1968, Alexander Dubcek became Secretary, and the country gained freedom of press, assembly worship and right to strike. The association Dubcek had with these steps led him to be known as the human face of socialism. This move threatened to spread to neighbouring Romania .Troops from several satellite states moved in to defend their countries from these inward moving socialist ideals. Dubcek was arrested, and replaced by Husak who would follow the Russian line.
