Summary/Abstract: In August 1968, the urban public space became the focal point of social change and the resistance of the Czechoslovak population to the occupation of the country by Warsaw Pact armies. With the example of several Czechoslovak cities, this article aims to contribute to the analysis of social resistance expressed through posters and slogans on the walls of buildings and through the disfiguring of Soviet war monuments situated in the urban public space.
