The Withdrawal of Soviet Troops
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: June 22, 2016, 19:00 – 21:00
The turn of June and July 1991 saw the extinction once and for all of the official remnants of the former Soviet Bloc in Central Europe: On 28 June the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance was dissolved in Budapest; on 30 June Soviet troops left Czechoslovakia; and on 1 July, under the presidency of President Václav Havel, the Warsaw Pact was dissolved in Prague.
Then minister of defence Luboš Dobrovský and Federal Assembly deputy Michael Kocáb will discuss events at that time and the Kremlin’s present day efforts at a re-division of Europe and sphere of influence.
Moderated by Jakub Železný.
