Economics Collectivization Cold War International cooperation International relations 20th century China Czechoslovakia Soviet Union

The Czechoslovak Communists officially declared the People’s Republic of China second most important ally after the Soviet Union in 1949. The onset of collectivisation in both countries opened opportunities for exchange of experience in agriculture. Taking a twinning bilateral project between two agricultural cooperatives as an example, the article analyses various dimensions of Sino-Czechoslovak relations. Based upon Czechoslovak archival documents and an interview with the Czech participant in the twinning, it argues that while top political and economic contacts remained Soviet-supervised, on the personal level positive impression survived the Sino-Soviet split although the Czechoslovak Communists stayed loyal to Moscow.
