Letter from the Central Committees of the Bulgarian, East German, Hungarian, Polish, and Soviet Communist Parties Regarding the Warsaw Pact Intervention in Czechoslovakia

21 Aug 1968
Description: This letter from the Central Committees (CCs) of the Bulgarian, East German, Hungarian, Polish, and Soviet Communist Parties informs the CC of the Romanian Communist Party about the critical situation in Czechoslovakia in August 1968. The letter states that a considerable part of the resources used by anti-Socialist organizations in Czechoslovakia comes from foreign sources. Since a legal anti-Socialist opposition is preparing to take over power in Czechoslovakia, the communist parties of the Warsaw Pact declare their will to help the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia to overcome the crisis. The letter concludes with a statement to the effect that the defense of Socialism in Czechoslovakia is a question of regional security.
