Abstract

Komunizam je ideologija koja je uvelike utjecala na Europu nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, stoga je za razumijevanje današnjih sigurnosnih i političkih pitanja potrebno razumijevanje hladnoratovske podjele Europe. Kako bi se razumio utjecaj komunizma na Europu potrebno je proučiti što ta ideologija govori te zašto je u mnogim državama bila prihvaćena. Europa je u Hladnom ratu bila podijeljena između režima pod utjecajem SAD-a i režima pod komunističkom ideologijom pod većinskim utjecajem SSSR-a. Postojale su i komunističke države koje su izabrale put k ostvarenju komunističke ideologije koji nije bio u skladu s politikom SSSR-a poput Jugoslavije i Albanije. Podjela Europe na komunističku i demokratsku ukazuje na značajan utjecaj komunizma na geopolitiku Europe kako u Hladnom ratu tako i danas. U zapadnim državama Europe također su se javljali razni napori za pridruživanje Istočnom bloku, a s druge strane postojali su i napori u komunističkim državama da se pridruže Zapadnom bloku. Savez Sovjetskih Socijalističkih Republika bio je jedan od dvaju ključnih aktera u Europi u Hladnom ratu, stoga je bitno razumjeti unutarnja politička zbivanja u toj tada vodećoj komunističkoj državi svijeta. Širenje komunizma bilo je najveće na kraju Drugog svjetskog rata kada je SSSR na dio Europskih država donio komunističku ideologiju što je izazvano borbom protiv Nacističke Njemačke. Cilj ovog završnog rada je prikazati kako se komunizam širio Europom, kako se kroz desetljeća održavao u raznim državama te kako je utjecao na susjedne demokratske države. Metoda izrade ovog završnog rada biti će analiza dokumentacije, arhivske građe i sadržaja koji opisuju komunizam u Istočnoj Europi i njegov utjecaj na zapadnoeuropske države.

Abstract (english)

Communism is an ideology that greatly influenced Europe after World War II, so understanding today's security and political issues requires an understanding of the Cold War division of Europe. In order to understand the influence of communism on Europe, it is necessary to study what that ideology says and why it was accepted in many countries. During the Cold War, Europe was divided between a regimes under the influence of the USA and a regimes under communist ideology under the majority influence of the USSR. There were also communist states that chose a path to the realization of communist ideology that was not in accordance with the policy of the USSR, such as Yugoslavia and Albania. The division of Europe into communist and democratic states indicates the significant influence of communism on the geopolitics of Europe both in the Cold War and today. In the Western countries of Europe, there were also various efforts to join the Eastern Bloc and, on the other hand, there were also efforts in the communist countries to join the Western Bloc. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is a very important actor in Europe during the Cold War, so it is important to understand the internal political events in that leading communist state. The spread of communism was the greatest at the end of the Second World War when the USSR brought communist ideology to some of the European countries, which was caused by the fight against Nazi Germany. The aim of this final work is to show how communism spread across Europe, how it was maintained in various countries over the decades and how it influenced neighboring democratic states. The method of creating this final paper will be the analysis of documentation, archival materials and content that describe communism in Eastern Europe and its influence on Western European countries.
