Abstract
The paper looks into the intra-party debates on the federalization of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the late 1980s. Firstly, the author describes the establishment of the party organ in the Czech lands and examines its structure and powers.
Secondly, the comparison with analogous process from the 1960s is carried out. Finally, the federalization of the party is discussed, in the broader context of the process of perestroika in Czechoslovakia.
The findings are based on the research of so far generally unknown archival document of the origin of the Central Committee of the Communist party.
