With Chinese Communists against the Czechoslovak Normalization Regime. Exile Listy Group and Its Search for Political Allies against Soviet Power Domination in Central Europe.

Original language description

Czechoslovak reform Communists who went into exile after the Soviet-led military intervention in Czechoslovakia, in August 1968, began to work in the Listy group led by Jiři Pelikan, a former Director of Czechoslovak Television, the Publisher of the Rome-based exile bimonthly Listy, and, later, a Member of the European Parliament. In the search for political allies against Husak’s regime of ‘normalization’, they tried to establish contact mainly with infl uential representatives of the West European Left. This article, however, examines an area of their involvement in exile, which has previously not received attention – namely, their efforts to develop contacts with Chinese Communists who in the period after August 1968 were vociferously speaking out at international forums and criticizing Soviet expansionism. The author demonstrates how the exiles tried to take advantage of this in order to strengthen their positions as members of the foreign socialist opposition to the normalization regime.
