Summary/Abstract: The author focuses on the evolution of the Soviet official view on the 1956 Hungarian events during Gorbachev’s “perestroika” and in connection with the breakdown of Communism in Central-Eastern Europe.The military intervention of five Warsaw Treaty-states against the „Prague Spring” in august 1968 was theoretically fundamented through the so-called „Brezhnev Doctrine”.That was gradually abandoned by the Soviet leadership during the 1980’s and mostly during Gorbachev’s perestroika. Simultaneously a reevaluation of the Soviet official position towards the 1956 Hungarian Revolution occurred. The process reached its climax at the end of the 1980’s in the context of the breakdown of the Socialist bloc.
