Hello,
As you suggested to me, I wrote an article on Czechoslovak nonviolent defense.
Would you like to read it and suggest possible corrections to me before it is published?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply. You are right that the article is a little too long. But, if I am not mistaken, the example of Czechoslovakia against the Soviet Union is the first, and so far only one, in history.
In general, it is believed that the Soviet Union won this war although many sources prove the contrary. Putting them together requires a little space ...
It seems useful to me to spread the idea that one state can defend itself against invasion by another, much more powerful, by non-violent means.
It cannot always work and certainly not the same way in Czechoslovakia in 1968, but it can make people think and seek other solutions.

Hello. I read the articles you mention. Indeed, the Czechoslovak nonviolent defense against the Soviet army should be mentioned there. Strange that this is not the case. In general, the Russo-Czechoslovak War of 1968 is treated as a classical war not very important, in fact. It is believed that the 600,000 soldiers of the Soviet bloc crushed any resistance from the Czechs and Slovaks. However, the article that I am proposing for publication is a kaleidoscope of testimonies on these events, testimonies considered as reliable “secondary sources” (history books, important newspaper articles), but this kaleidoscope is reorganized differently. It offers a non-traditional look at this unique historical reality. On August 22, 1968, the state government invited its entire population to respond to the foreign invasion by non-violent means! It is unique. And he asked the army to stay in the barracks as the Czechoslovak army was considered the best in the Soviet bloc and the soldiers wanted to fight. This seems to me to largely justify the recounting of this story in an article on nonviolence. This article is published in French Wikipedia, article on nonviolence. It has been widely discussed by administrators. I added a personal opinion at the start which I can take away. In my opinion, the rest should be acceptable and be submitted to the readers. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, its users can enrich the articles. Censorship contradicts this fundamental principle. I intend to publish a reduced version of this text to about half.
