The Marshall Plan made the break between East and West irreparable.

The USSR was now more determined than ever to consolidate its gains: at home by terror and abroad by strengthening its hold over communist parties and mass organizations.

The Czech students, writes Hubert Ripka, followed ‘the tradition of their elders who, in November 1939, had risen against the Nazi terror regime. The memory of the price their predecessors had paid for their heroism did not frighten off the students of 1948’ (Hubert Ripka, Le coup de Prague, une révolution préfabriquée, Paris: Plon, 1950 ).
