That all changed on the night of 21 August, when Soviet tanks entered Prague, ending the short-lived political liberalization in Czechoslovakia. 'I wasn't a reporter,' Koudelka recalls. 'I had never photographed anything that you would call \"\"news\"\". Suddenly, for the first time in my life, I was confronted with that kind of situation. I responded to it. I knew it was important to photograph, so I photographed.' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor fear of repercussions, Koudelka originally published the images under the pseudonym 'PP' (Prague photographer).
