The Battle for Czechoslovak Radio was a clash between Czechoslovak citizens defending Czechoslovak Radio and soldiers of the Soviet Army during the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. 17 unarmed Czechoslovak citizens were killed defending the Czechoslovak Radio on Vinohradská Street in Prague from occupation troops of the Soviet Army. When the Soviet troops tried to break into the radio building, its defenders threw stones and broke through the external diesel fuel tanks of the tanks with pickaxes, which they set fire to, managing to destroy several tanks. The encounter became a symbol of the resistance of the people of Prague against Warsaw Pact forces during the invasion of Czechoslovakia.

| - Boj o rozhlas byl masakr 17 neozbrojených československých občanů bránících Československý rozhlas na Vinohradské třídě v Praze před obsazením vojsky invazní armády 21. srpna 1968. Při pokusu sovětských vojsk proniknout k budově rozhlasu použili jeho obránci kameny a někteří z nich proráželi krumpáči vnější nádrže s naftou na tancích, naftu zapalovali a několik tanků se jim podařilo zničit. Toto střetnutí se stalo symbolem odporu Pražanů proti vpádu cizích armád v roce 1968. (cs)
