Fascinating piece filmed prior to the Warsaw Pact (not just ‘Russian’) invasion. Interesting reference to the prosperity of Yugoslavia which might have been seen as a model then. Things look very different now.
That example shows how behind Czechoslovakia and other members of Eastern block were.Since Yugoslavia was not dependent on USSR they could develop more. It is sad to see how young people in west especially in USA lean to communism/socialism nowadays.
back at the time there were definitely more 'colourful' and 'stylish' products in Yugoslav shops than in CS. The shops just looked better in YU. But general standard of living was much higher in CS than in YU. These more 'colourful' shops might have created impression of 'prosperity' compared to CS in the eyes of casual visitors like these BBC journalists
Krásné záběry a rozhovory!
A month before the Prague Spring people are very happy that the government allowing them freedom to some extend the happiness didn’t last longer
You mean a month before the invasion which ended the Prague Spring.
