Soldier Lights Cigarette/Sign/Wall/Cssr

(Original Caption) 9/4/1968-Prague, Czechoslovakia- A Russian soldier lights a cigarette as a Czech walks past a sign which equates U.S. policy in Vietnam with the Soviet (CCCP) occupation of Czechoslovakia (CSSR). A swastika painted inside a star (which is used as a symbol for both the Soviet and the American armies) completes the barb. Since Warsaw Pact forces invaded Czechoslovakia, signs like this have been scrawled on walls, windows and even Russian tanks.
