Moscow, Russia, 16/10/2011. A Russian couple embrace at the entrance to Prague Invasion 68, Josef Koudelka’s first personal exhibition in Moscow, at the Lumiere Brothers Photography Centre. The pictures, shot during the Soviet invasion of 1968, were smuggled out of Czechoslovakia and at first only published anonymously by Magnum; Koudelka only became publicly known as the photographer some 16 years later.
