Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Czechoslovak crisis, as it became known, started in January 1968, when Alexander Dubcek was elevated to the post of First Secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPCz), replacing moribund Antonin Novotny, who had served as First Secretary since 1957. Under Dubcek, the communist leadership embarked on a program of dramatic liberalization of the Czechoslovak political, economic, and social order, including the overhaul of the CPCz leadership, increased freedom of speech, surrender of authority to the Czech National Assembly by the Communist Party, real elections at local and national levels, and even the suggestion of legalizing non-communist political parties. All this alarmed Moscow and the leadership of the Warsaw Pact, but throughout the Prague Spring, Dubcek went out of his way to demonstrate his personal loyalty to Moscow and Prague's intention to remain firmly within the Warsaw Pact military alliance. How sincere he was in these remonstrations is difficult to say, but Dubcek and his allies clearly feared a repetition of the Hungarian uprising of 1956, brutally crushed by Soviet troops. These fears were mirrored in Washington and, to a certain extent, even in Moscow. The crisis lasted more than a year, with the first none months consisting of Czech reforms triggering Soviet statements of concern and eventually threats, buttressed by Warsaw Pact military buildups disguised as exercises. When the invasion occurred in the early morning hours of 21 August, the Czechoslovak leadership as not immediately removed, but remained largely intact through April 1969, when Dubcek was finally replaced as First Secretary by a more pro-Soviet Gustav Husak.

"On August 20, 1968, tens of thousands of Soviet and East European ground and air forces moved into Czechoslovakia and occupied the country in an attempt to end the 'Prague Spring' reforms and restore an orthodox Communist regime. The leader of the Soviet Communist Party, Leonid Brezhnev, was initially reluctant to use military force and tried to pressure his counterpart in Czechoslovakia, Alexander Dubcek, to crack down. But during the summer of 1968, after several months of careful deliberations, the Soviet Politburo finally decide that military force was the only option left. A large invading force of Soviet, Polish, Hungarian, and Bulgarian troops received final orders to move into Czechoslovakia; within 24 hours they had established complete military control of Czechoslovakia, bringing an end to hopes for 'socialism with a human face.' Dubcek and most of the other Czechoslovak reformers were temporarily restored to power, but their role from late August 1968 through April 1969 was to reverse many of the reforms that had been adopted. In April 1969, Dubchek was forced to step down for good, bringing a final end to the Prague Spring. Soviet leaders justified the invasion of Czechoslovakia by claiming that 'the fate of any socialist country is the common affair of all socialist countries' and that the Soviet Union had both a 'right' and a 'sacred duty' to 'defend socialism' in Czechoslovakia. The invasion caused some divisions within the Communist world, but overall the use of large-scale force proved remarkably successful in achieving Soviet goals. The United States and its N.A.T.O. allies protested but refrained from direct military action and covert operations to counter the Soviet-led incursion into Czechoslovakia. The essays of a dozen leading European and American Cold War historians analyze this turning point in the Cold War in light of new documentary evidence from the archives of two dozen countries and exp.".

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. This edited collection offers a coherent examination of the Russian perception of the Prague Spring and the Warsaw Pact's occupation of Czechoslovakia in August 1968. It features interviews, memoirs, and academic studies centered on Russian soldiers, dissidents, and journalists impacted by the Soviet invasion. The book opens with insights into Soviet soldiers stationed in Czechoslovakia, revealing their inner experiences and the powerful Soviet propaganda they encountered. An archival supplement by historians Nikita Petrov and Olga Pavlenko provides a new perspective on the KGB and Soviet embassy's roles during the events of August 1968. The second section highlights Soviet journalists in Prague who supported the Prague Spring, ultimately facing deportation and job loss for their beliefs. The final part delves into the solidarity felt by the Soviet liberal intelligentsia and dissidents, who viewed the Prague events as a glimmer of hope for change amid Brezhnev's repressive regime. It includes a study by Czech researcher Tomas Glanc on the varied reactions within the Soviet intelligentsia, followed by interviews with notable dissidents Lyudmila Alexeeva and Natalia Gorbanevskaya. Additionally, the diary of Elvira Filipovich, a Russian biologist married to a Czech, provides a personal account of the August 1968 events in Moscow.
