Abstract
Based on archival materials, the text analyses the Czechoslovak normalization leadership' policy towards the Warsaw Treaty Organization at the turn of 1960s and 1970s. The Prague Spring was just a part-episode in the CPCz leadership's attitude towards the alliance.
Right after came to power, the normalization regime showed Moscow that its intention was to act with maximal loyalty within the alliance's structures. Thus, unlike the other member-states, the CSSR was not very initiative at the Warsaw Pact sessions at the time.
However, the organization provided the normalization regime - isolated at the international stage - one of few opportunities to get involved in the field of foreign policy. In the military area, the Soviet pressure for high military spending continued.
In terms of demonstration of its loyalty, the CSSR did not object it.
