Je načase opustit alianci s Moskvou? Organizace Varšavské smlouvy v kontextu krize východního bloku v roce 1956
Is it time to abandon the alliance with Moscow? The organisation of the Warsaw Pact in the context of the eastern Bloc crisis of 1956

Summary/Abstract: At the start of July 1956 – in a period when a crisis was getting underway in the Eastern Bloc – an American government memorandum on US policy toward Soviet satellites in Eastern Europe stated that Soviet dominance in that space would remain an essential reality. In Washington’s view, there was no evidence whatever that Moscow’s ability to control events in the region had been influenced by anything that had occurred in the wake of Stalin’s death. The report identified as the key instrument in that control Soviet advisors in the state and security apparatuses of individual satellites, as well as the steering of economic and military matters by the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and the Warsaw Pact. Though subsequent months were turbulent they nevertheless confirmed the US government’s assessments.
