MASKALÍK, Alex: Report of the Military Counter-Intelligence on the Cases of „Misused“ Forces and Resources of the ČSĽA in August 1968.

Vojenská história, 18, 2, 2014, pp. 126-147.

In the published material, the author provides a selection from the extensive Report of the Cases on Misused Forces and Resources of the ČSLA in August 1968, submitted by the Chief of Military Counter-Intelligence, Major General Josef Stavinoha, to the Minister of National Defence, Colonel General Martin Dzúr, on January 6 1970. The document clarifies the behaviour and conduct of the CS professional soldiers in the period immediately following August 21 1968, which in 1969 became the subject of special in-vestigation lead by the Military Counter-Intelligence Head Office. The report was aimed at providing comprehensive overview on the detected cases of “misuse” of the CS People’s Army by the members thereof. This was a result of almost a yearlong investigation carried out within the state security operation. The author provides a transcript of the material, in particular the sections regarding Slovakia, with scientific comments enclosed.
