Summary/Abstract: The 20 th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the speech delivered there by Nikita Khrushchev got the surprising developments of 1956 rolling. While it was solely intended for party ears, even citizens of Czechoslovakia were able to read it quite soon. In large part thanks to a Radio Free Europe leafleting campaign within which millions of sheets featuring anti-Communist content, including the most important sections of Khrushchev’s speech, reached Czechoslovakia.
