Abstract

The Husák´s leadership of the Czechoslovak Communist Party criticized or revised the principles of the politics pursued in the time of the so called Revival Process in 1968. The admiring attitude towards socialist Yugoslavia belonged to the aspects of the Prague Spring.

Czechoslovak public saw in the Tito´s politics an ideal and inspiration. In positive meaning there were seen the parallels and similarities of the development in the both countries.

Also the holders of antireform tendencies considered the so called Yugoslav revisionism as one of the ideological sources of Czechoslovak "deviation". The Czechoslovak-Yugoslav relations during the beginning of the "Normalization" in Czechoslovakia, especially the role of Tito´s Yugoslavia in the Czechoslovakia at that time are the subject of this article.
