Putin Admits Sending Soviet Tanks into Hungary and Czechoslovakia Was a Mistake
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged that the Soviet Union’s decision to deploy tanks into Hungary and Czechoslovakia to suppress mass protests during the Cold War was indeed a mistake.

“It was a mistake,” Putin conceded when questioned about Russia’s perception as a colonial power, stemming from Moscow’s actions in sending tanks into Budapest in 1956 and Prague in 1968.

Putin emphasized the importance of avoiding foreign policy actions that harm the interests of other nations, a sentiment contrasting with his deployment of tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in 2022, sparking Europe’s largest land war since World War Two.

Furthermore, Putin drew a parallel between the United States and the Soviet Union, asserting that Washington was making similar mistakes and emphasizing that it had “no friends, only interests.”

The 1956 Hungarian Uprising saw the suppression of mass protests by Soviet tanks and troops, resulting in the deaths of at least 2,600 Hungarians and 600 Soviet soldiers.

In 1968, the Prague Spring was quashed when Soviet-led Warsaw Pact forces invaded the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. This invasion resulted in the deaths of approximately 137 Czechs and Slovaks, according to Czech historians.
