Romanian Interpretations of the Prague Spring: Cadres, Diplomats and the 1968 Crisis, I

Summary/Abstract: The Czechoslovak crisis of 1968 had a lasting effect on Romanian politics and society. As Mary Fischer said, the Prague Spring was a “galvanizing event” for the Romanian Communist Party and for Nicolae Ceauşescu personally. It offered the chance to the Romanian dictator to appear to the whole world as a strong anti-Soviet leader, despite his Communist regime. Taking advantage from the profound anti-Soviet/Russian feelings of the Romanian people, it also offered the unique possibility to the R.C.P. to try a reconcilation with the Nation.
