|
Description:
This document is a record of a meeting of the politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, at which the economic and political crisis in Poland in the early 1980s is discussed. The Soviet leadership concludes that the idea of sending Soviet troops to Poland is out of the question at this point in time. As far as the provision of economic assistance to Poland is concerned, the participants agree to offer further aid. They criticize the idea of creating a new party to replace the Polish United Workers' Party, and see such a step as a proof of the Polish government's inability to deal with the supposedly "counterrevolutionary" Solidarnosc movement.
