Summary/Abstract: The article attempts at analysing the main principles of information politics at the period of the “Prague Spring” and military intervention in Czechoslovakia. The main focus is on the strategy formation of the influence on the media by the Polish Government and its leader V. Gomulko. In order to achieve propaganda purposes, journalistic campaigns “from above” were organized and it meant the return to the methods which had been applied in the period of Stalinism. The media of the USSR, German Democratic Republic, Bulgaria and Hungary while attempting to justify the military intervention to Czechoslovakia disseminated information about the counterrevolutionary and revisionistic character of the reforms of the “Prague Spring”.
