 abstract={The democratic changes taking place in Czechoslovakia were observed closely by the Polish People's Republic's authorities. From the beginning, W. Gomułka looked askance at the events - and such was Poland's official position. The alliance between Warsaw and Prague was strengthened a year before and nothing hinted at the crisis to come. In early 1968, friendly visits and routine talks took place, which heralded further cementing of the friendship. But the events in March made W. Gomułka show he was loath to what was going on in the Socialist Republic of Czechoslovakia.},
 abstract={The meeting of the leaders of the socialist countries in Dresden presented the Polish First Secretary of the Polish United Workers' Party with an opportunity to condemn the counterrevolutionary forces that threatened - in his opinion - the unity of the socialist bloc. Pointing to the menace in Prague, W. Gomułka tried to turn the Soviet leaders' attention away from the situation in Poland and hoped to stay in power unscathed.},
 abstract={The Czechoslovak press reporting of the situation in Poland came in for a great deal of criticism by the Polish authorities and created an opportunity for a diplomatic intervention. Warsaw stressed the anti-Polish attitude in the reports and the lack of Prague's reaction to the anti-Polish activities. The tone of the Polish diplomatic note and Gomułka's statement on the German threat foreshadowed, or, at least, expressed acceptance for, the military intervention to quash the Prague Spring.},
 abstract={The situation in Czechoslovakia was observed and analysed by the Polish embassies and consulates there. Their reports provided Warsaw with invaluable information, while the diplomats were to get the local officials round to the Polish People's Republic's authorities' point of view on the events in the Socialist Republic of Czechoslovakia.},
 abstract={That point of view got ever more radical and, ultimately, resulted in the Polish Army's participation in the crushing of the Prague Spring. W. Gomułka saw it as a military and political success- as well as a means of preserving the existing situation in Poland through the strengthening of his position. Yet, the military intervention in Czechoslovakia contributed significantly to the prolonged worsening of the relations between the Poles, Czechs and Slovaks. Indirectly, it strengthened the USSR's position in the Central and Eastern Europe.},
