The Soviet Union's Role in the Slovak National Uprising:
The Talský Affair - Incompetent, Traitor, or Pawn?

Much has been written about the Slovak National Uprising of 1944 in the decades following the Second World War. However, the vast majority of Slovak history regarding the turbulent decade of 1938 – 1948 is written in Czech, Slovak or Russian and primarily by two opposing factions—the Fascists that managed to escape after the fall of the Tiso regime and the Moscow-loyal Communists that forced their way into power in 1948 and proceeded to re-engineer all of Slovak politics, economics, education, culture, literature and historiography. Very little Slovak history of this time period and its analysis is found in English, and even less is found written by the Democrats who were primarily responsible for envisioning and planning a revolt against the Fascist Tiso regime. At the center of the ongoing debate over the meaning of the Slovak National Uprising (SNU) is the issue of the role that the Soviet Union played in the uprising. To date, substantial controversy persists over Stalin’s true intentions in the SNU. This monograph examines the extant evidence since the fall of the Soviet Union and declassification of Soviet state archives.
