This study attempts to monitor the relationship and interconnection between traditions and modernity in the post-war Soviet Union. To the Bolshevik elite, victory in the Second World War 'confirmed' the validity of the already classic Stalinist industrialisation and economic system established in the 30s. Its re-establishment therefore took place without regard for any weak indicators of partial modernising visions that were partly put into effect later, in the spirit of the traditional model. Especially Khrushchev was evidently aware of the necessity of modernisation; however, specific reforms remained fully within the framework of the traditional system. A significant innovation was undoubtedly the increased attention devoted to social matters, increasing the population's low standard of living, among other things. After his removal, a discussion about economic problems and reforms led to the so-called Kosygin's reforms. At the turn of the 70s, highly conservative Brezhnevism, which blocked any kind of change, asserted itself. Attention was then devoted to the relationship between both phenomena during the Gorbachev era, especially in the case of the law about state enterprises.

After 1956 the new Soviet leaders tried to increase the 'unity' of the bloc member countries, including transnational organizations, but their proposals made early in 1966 failed. One of all reactions in the Soviet Bloc was the particular reform evolution in Czechoslovakia in 1968 (the Prague Spring). Moscow rapidly changed positions to policy of the CPCz reform wing leader A. Dubcek and strongly criticized of the development in Czechoslovakia. Soviet leaders increased of pressure tactics to the final decision to crush the Czechoslovak experiment with military power. The preparation and motives of the Soviet intervention and its short-term as well as long-term consequences are analyzed. The intervention made it possible for Moscow to start reintegrating its bloc in the following year, which now faced only little resistance on the part of its allies (Rumania). An important tool in Moscow's hands became the newly formulated and publicly proclaimed Brezhnev Doctrine, which was used by the USSR to justify its intervention in Czechoslovakia, but was primarily intended for the 1970s.
