'We Must Push Eastwards!' The Challenges and Dilemmas of President Beneš after Munich
In: Journal of contemporary history, Band 44, Heft 4, S. 619-656
ISSN: 1461-7250
This article has been inspired by the author's editing of E. Beneš' Memoirs 1938—45 . One of the strongest challenges for the former Czechoslovak President Beneš was the relationship with the Soviet Union. Did Beneš, who formed his government in exile in the West, succumb to Stalin's will during his visit in Moscow in late 1943 or later, during the communist putsch of 1948? The author believes that Beneš' decision to push eastwards, for the sake of building a closer relationship with Soviet Russia, was formulated much earlier, as a response to the western betrayal of Czechoslovakia at Munich in 1938. However, Beneš' motivation in the process of rebuilding Czechoslovakia was geopolitical rather than ideological, aiming at three objectives: a common border with the USSR (which entailed the sacrifice of Subcarpathian Ruthenia); crushing Slovak autonomy and reinforcing the Czecho-Slovak link; and the transfer of non-Slavic minorities, the Sudeten Germans and Hungarians. Moscow, rather than London or Washington, seemed to have satisfied Beneš' objectives. This pragmatic dependence on Stalin led also to Beneš' unwavering acceptance of the Soviet version of the Katyn massacre.

Crime and Punishment in Communist Czechoslovakia: The Case of General Heliodor Pika and his Prosecutor Karel Vas
In: Totalitarian movements and political religions, Band 9, Heft 2, S. 335-354
ISSN: 1743-9647
Shortly after the Communist Putsch in February 1948, General Heliodor Pika, deputy chief of the general staff and former head of the Military Mission in the USSR, was arrested by the Communist-controlled security services and accused of high treason as a British spy. He was to be sentenced on trumped-up charges and executed in 1949. This was the beginning of bloody purges in Czechoslovakia under the Communist regime. The story becomes more complex, allowing a rare insight into the mechanism of pseudo-justice in that country, by the fate of Pika's prosecutor, Karel Vas, who alternates in the role of crime perpetrator and crime victim. Adapted from the source document.
