Soudruzi určení k internaci (
Comrades destined for internment

Summary/Abstract: The testimonies of Prague’s State Security employees who were arrested by their colleagues in August 1968 and without any explanation interned on StB premises (see Pavel Žáček: Communists do not Raise a Finger but a Fist) evoke the memory of the conflict that was ripening among employees of the communist secret police throughout the year 1968, and that culminated during the country’s occupation in August. The testimonies of the interned StB employees, even though sometimes grotesque, stylistically clumsy and grammatically incorrect, throw light on the support provided by StB to Soviet occupational forces in Prague, and on its role in the forthcoming events.
