1968 stands as a synonym for unrest and upheaval, as a symbol for awakening and departure into new social structures, as a year that settled old accounts with the establishment. Student unrest, Prague Spring, Tet-Offensive, the massacre of Tlatelolko, the murder of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy or Rudi Dutschke are equally standing out as terms defining the “code 68”. How much do we still see of the “myth of 1968” more than 40 years after the events?
