Summary/Abstract: Through its events, the year 1956 established itself as a turning point in the history of world communism. The ideological innovations brought by Nikita Khrushchev at the XXth Congress of Communist Party of Soviet Union and especially the presentation of the "secret" report on Stalinist crimes influenced, to a considerable extent, the short, medium and long-term evolution of the parties members of the international communist movement and of the regimes of Popular Democracy grouped in the communist bloc. The coordinators of this volume have proposed to make available a work meant to bring together new informations from archives, theories and new perspectives on the effects of destalinization in the communist bloc, the relations between Moscow and its allies, the system crises that occurred in the autumn of 1956 in Poland and Hungary and their consequences.
