A mini-Comintern in Central Europe: Rethinking interwar Czechoslovak communism
Review by Václav Kaška
In Marxism and the Interpretation of Dreams (Stanford University Press, 2026), Molly Pucci recounts the story of one of interwar Europe’s largest and most multinational parties, the Czechoslovak Communist Party, in its Central European context. Václav Kaška writes that this thought-provoking book successfully bridges national historiographies while demonstrating the continued value of Central Europe as a category of historical analysis.
