History
[change | change source]The town only started to grow after 1946, when the new Czechoslovak-Soviet border was formed. At that time, it became Slovakia’s largest railway border crossing. In 1968, Alexander Dubček, the leader of the Czechoslovak Communist Party, met Leonid Brezhnev, the Soviet Communist Party leader, in a train carriage here. This happened just before the Soviet “help” in August, which was the crushing of the Prague Spring. Because of its fast growth, the settlement was given town status in 1969.

Note on population The difference between the population numbers above and in the census (here and below) is that the population numbers above are mostly made up of permanent residents, etc.; and the census should indicate the place where people actually mainly live.
For example, a student is a citizen of a village because he has permanent residence there (he lived there as a child and has parents), but most of the time he studies at a university in the city.
