EASTERN EUROPE IN 1968 GEBUNDEN

This collection of thirteen essays examines reactions in Eastern Europe to the Prague Spring
and Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Countries covered include the Soviet Union
and specific Soviet republics (Ukraine  Moldavia  the Baltic States)  together with two
chapters on Czechoslovakia and one each on East Germany  Poland  Hungary  Bulgaria  Romania 
Yugoslavia and Albania. The individual contributions explain why most of these communist
regimes opposed Alexander Dubcek's reforms and supported the Soviet-led military intervention
in August 1968  and why some stood apart. They also explore public reactions in Eastern Europe
to the events of 1968  including instances of popular opposition to the crushing of the Prague
Spring  expressions of loyalty to Soviet-style socialism  and cases of indifference or
uncertainty. Among the many complex legacies of the East European '1968' was the development of
new ways of thinking about regional identity  state borders  de-Stalinisation and the burdens
of the past.
