Free radio broadcasts and leaf lets advised that the Soviet press was printing photos of Czechoslovaks and Russians talking in Prague as proof that a warm reception was being given the troops. Any Czech caught speaking to the soldiers, these messages said, would be branded a traitor. Though the people had little notion of the progress of the Moscow negotiations, they knew that their fate hung on them.
