About
Alexander Dubcek was a Slovak politician and, briefly, leader of Czechoslovakia, famous for his attempt to reform the communist regime during the Prague Spring. Later, after the overthrow of the government in 1989, he was Chairman of the federal Czecho-Slovak parliament. During the Second World War, Alexander Dubcek joined the underground resistance against the wartime pro-German Slovak state headed by Jozef Tiso. In August 1944, Dubcek fought in the Slovak National Uprising and was wounded. His brother, Július, was killed. Dubcek died on 7 November 1992, as a result of injuries sustained in car crash that took place on 1 September on the Czech D1 highway, near Humpolec.
