40 years on: the exile comes home to Prague by Sean O'Hagan
In 1969, a year after Russian tanks rolled into Prague, Josef Koudelka visited London with a Czech theatre group.
One Sunday morning he was walking out of his hotel near the Aldwych Theatre when he saw some members of the theatre group perusing a copy of the Sunday Times magazine.
As he passed, he saw to his surprise that they were looking at his own extraordinary photographs of that Russian invasion and the spontaneous street protests it provoked.
