Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to examine relations between the Norwegian Workers’ Communist Party and Pol Pot’s Democratic Kampuchea between 1975 and 1981. The Norwegian Maoist movement held a deeply positive view of the Khmer Rouge regime, which resulted in its send-ing a delegation to Phnom Penh in September 1978. In the article I will analyze how they in-terpreted the regime, focusing on delegates’ memoirs and debates after the fall of the Khmer Rouge government.
