These are pictures made by the Czech photographer Josef Koudelka.
He walked and filmed Prague's streets until his film stock ran out. Despite the fact that the soldiers shot at everyone with cameras and many photographers were killed or wounded. And Joseph boldly filmed right in front of the tanks!
