February 1948: Establishment of the Communist Regime
I have just returned from the castle from meeting the President. Today in the morning, I submitted to him my proposal for ac- ceptance of the ministers´ resignations who resigned on 20 February of this year and at the same time I proposed to the President a list of people who should substitute for the gov- ernment and reconstruct it. I would like to inform you that the President accepted all my proposals as they were submitted. Comrades, all discharging letters as well as all letters of ap- pointment are signed by the President and I will countersign them soon.

Original Language: Russian Contents: English Translation Record of a conversation between Cde. I. V. Stalin and the leaders of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany Wilhelm Pieck and Otto Grotewohl, 26 March 1948, at 1900 hours Top Secret Present: V. M. Molotov, A. A. Zhdanov, G. M. Malenkov, V. S.

Stalin for the welcome and also for the aid which the Soviet Military Administration in Germany gives the SED [Socialist Unity Party]. I. V. STALIN asks whether the Military Administration is actually giving aid or if this is a compliment. PIECK and GROTEWOHL say that they are actually receiving aid. STALIN, joking, asks again, does this mean that they don't just oppress you, but also give aid? PIECK, laughing, confirms [this]. Then he says that he will describe political issues and Grotewohl economic [ones]. -

Digital Archive digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org International History Declassified February 21, 1948 Report of the Special Action of the Polish Socialist Party in Prague, 21-25 February 1948 Citation: “Report of the Special Action of the Polish Socialist Party in Prague, 21-25 February 1948,” February 21, 1948, History and Public Policy Program Digital Archive, Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Warsaw), file 217, packet 16, pp. 1-11. Translated by Anna Elliot-Zielinska. http://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/117117 Summary: In the midst of a cabinet crisis in Czechoslovakia that would lead to the February Communist coup, several delegates from the Polish Socialist Party were sent to Prague to spread socialist influence. The crisis is outlined, as well as a thorough report of the conference in Prague. Credits: This document was made possible with support from the Leon Levy Foundation. Original Language: Polish Contents: English Translation In accordance with the resolution of the Political Commission and General Secretariat of the Central Executive Committee (CKW) of the Polish Socialist Party (PPS), made late on the night of 20 February 1948, Com. Kazimierz Rusinek, Adam Rapacki, Henryk Jablonski, and Stefan Arski were delegated to go to Prague. This decision was made after a thorough analysis of the political situation in Czechoslovakia brought on by a cabinet crisis there. The goal of the delegation was to inform the Central Committee of the Czechoslovak Social Democratic Party (SD) about the basic stance of the PPS and possibly to influence the SD Central Committee in the spirit of leftist-socialist and revolutionary politics. The motive behind the decision of the Political Commission and General Secretariat was the fear that, from the leftist socialist point of view, the situation at the heart of SD after the Brno Congress was taking an unfavorable shape. -

ARTICLE RADOMÍR V. LUZA (New Orleans, U.S.A.) February 1948 and the Czechoslovak Road to Socialism In the period from 1944 to 1948 the hard uncompromising substance of Stalinism fell upon the countries of Eastern Europe. Following the iron- bound dictums of Stalin,they became tailored to the tone and ambitions of Moscow under the form of People's Democracies.* The emergence of com- munism as the ruling system from within the bounds of a single country pre- sented one of the most important events in the history of the international Communist movement. In the writings of Communist Czech and Soviet his- torians the era has developed an identity of its own as a distinct, interim phase in the transition from capitalism to communism.1 They see the coup d'etat of 1948 in Prague as crucially important because of the Czechoslovak strategic position, which "was of immense significance" for Moscow because the outcome of the conflict between the Communist and democratic forces in the Czechoslovak Republic could have either helped definitively establish Communist power in Eastern Europe or could have blocked at least temporar- ily the path to Soviet expansion not only in Czechoslovakia but in other countries as well.2 In fact, in the late 1940s both the East and the West *The nature of the subject, the recentness of the period, and the policy of the Czechoslovak and Soviet authorities in classifyingrecords have made it necessary for the author to draw mainly on primary source material included in the more scholarly and re- liable accounts of the Czech communist historians of the 1960s. -

Herrick of Western Reserve University in 1905 Published and Edited by THE KIRTLAND BIRD CLUB In Cooperation With The Cleveland Bird Club Inc. The Cleveland Region (For Bird Calendar Records) The circle has a thirty mile radius At The Cleveland Museum of Natural History 2717 Euclid Avenue Cleveland 15, Ohio Vol. 44, No. 1 December 1947-January, February 1948 Page 1 THE CLEVELAND BIRD CALENDAR Winter Bird Population Number Issued April 23, 1948 Edited by Arthur B. Williams With this issue of the Calendar we are happy to announce the inauguration of a new policy with reference to what reports of species shall or shall not be admitted to the published records of the Calendar. Up to this time the Editor has had to rely pretty largely on his personal judgment in such matters, and often it has been no easy task to pass upon the validity of sight records involving rare or unusual birds. Now the assistance of a recently organized special committee of the Kirtland Bird Club will be available as a group to whom such questions may be referred. The members of this committee are B. P. Bole, Jr., Donald L. Newman and William E. Scheele. 1947 Christmas Bird Count – The eighth annual Christmas Bird Count conducted by the Kirtland Bird Club, was held December 27, 1947. As in other years, the territory covered was to the east of Cleveland, including the Lake Erie shore, the Chagrin Valley and the Shaker Lakes. -

The American, British and French occupation authorities, however, do not wish to inform the Control Council of the decisions prepared in London nor to give an account of the instructions they received in connection with the unilateral London decisions on the German question. Why do the American and British representatives refuse to give an account to the Control Council of the above questions involving Germany as a whole discussed by the London conference? Firstly, because while discussing these questions the Control Council might disclose to the world public the deal struck by the United States, Britain and France in London directed against the Potsdam agreement and the other Four- Power decisions, a deal whose aims are incompatible with publicity and with the policy of peace and democratization of Germany. -
