Na západ je cesta dlouhá. Závěrečný akt z Helsinek a cestování československých občanů do zahraničí.
A long journey to the West: The final act from Helsinki and travelling of Czechoslovak citizens abroad

Summary/Abstract: After a brief period of open borders between 1968 and 1969, the barriers at border crossings were closed again.
