Countries covered include the Soviet Union and specific Soviet republics (Ukraine, Moldavia, the Baltic States), together with two chapters on Czechoslovakia and one each on East Germany, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia and Albania. The individual contributions explain why most of these communist regimes opposed Alexander Dub?ek's reforms and supported the Soviet-led military intervention in August 1968, and why some stood apart. They also explore public reactions in Eastern Europe to the events of 1968, including instances of popular opposition to the crushing of the Prague Spring, expressions of loyalty to Soviet-style socialism, and cases of indifference or uncertainty. Among the many complex legacies of the East European '1968' was the development of new ways of thinking about regional identity, state borders, de-Stalinisation and the burdens of the past. . 606 $aRussia$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 606 $aModern History 615 0$aRussia$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern$xHistory. 615 0$aSoviet Union$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 14$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 615 24$aModern History. 676 $a940.09717 702 $aMcDermott$b Kevin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aStibbe$b Matthew$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299799703321 996 $aEastern Europe in 1968$92539410 997 $aUNINA
