PART I
COMMUNIST COUNTRIES
Introductory notes. This directory covers the thirteen countries in which the
Communist party is in.power--that is, the usual twelve of the Communist bloc plus
Yugoslavia. The directory is arranged alphabetically by country and, under each
country, the organizations appear in alphabetical sequence within three general cate-
gories, as follows: nationally oriented roof organizations (such as the Union of
Soviet Societies for Friendship and Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries) are
discussed first; regionally oriented organizations (such as the Armenian Society for
Friendship and Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries or the Soviet Association
of Friendship with the Peoples of Africa) are covered next; and nation-to-nation
bilateral organizations (such as the USSR-Japan Society) appear last. Throughout the
directory the most recent date of information appears in a parenthesis. Known members
of the local Communist party are marked by an asterisk. Double asterisks indicate
known members of the central committee of the Communist party or persons known to be
members of an organ of the central committee.

d. Publications: A Russian-language fortnightly journal titled
Druzhba '(Friendship) which was founded on 15 April 1955.
Beginning with a circulation of 2,000, by April 1956 this
figure had reached 57,000 and it was planned that circulation
would increase to 67,000 in May 1956. Recent information
reflects that the publication was closed down as a result of
the Sino-Soviet ideological altercations. in 1956 its chief
editor was one LIN Lang (2651/2728);. Although the text for
Druzhba was prepared in Peiping, the Russian-language edition
was primarily circulated in the Soviet Union through the
Soviet-Chinese Friendship Society which printed it in Moscow
for the Chinese. Similarly a Chinese-language publication
of the same name (Su-chung Yu-hao) was printed and distributed
in China from a text prepared in Moscow.

Director
Foreign Schools
(Dr) Vladimir KAIGL*
The so-called foreign schools in Czechoslovakia for students
from Africa and Asia (those not connected with the Czech Com-
munist Party (KSC) or with the trade unions) are reported to
be under the jurisdiction of the Institute for Contacts with
Abroad.
Special Department for Relations with Czech Citizens Living
Abroad (Oddeleni pro Styky s Krajany a Krajanskymi Organiza-
cemi v Zahranici) (otherwise known as the Czech Foreign
Institute)
Address - Karmelitska 25, Prague.
Chairman (1960) Marie TROJANOVA
Secy Gen (1960) Karel OLIVA
This department handles' relations with Czech citizens who
live abroad or with foreigners of Czech or Slovak descent.,,"
and maintains contacts with their national organizations.
It was earlier believed that the Czech Foreign Institute had
been completely submerged within the Institute for Contacts
with Abroad. It appears now, however, that the CFI retains
a degree of autonomy. It is still listed by name and address
in the Prague telephone directory. The CFIts activities
appear to be under the direction and guidance of the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs.

d. Publications:
Ceskoslovensko Svet (Czech World)
This is a weekly newspaper which bears the legend "Weekly
of the Czechoslovak Foreign Institute" and thus would seem
to be directed primarily at Czechs living abroad.
e. Remarks: The Institute for Contacts with Abroad is said to be
directly under the control of the Foreign Department of the
Central Committee of the KSC, and is also under the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade which
subsidize it. It has been reported that the intelligence
Department of the Ministry of Interior is in close contact
witti the Institute and also has some control over its activi-
ties. The Institute for Contacts with Abroad concerns itself
with all international conferences and events which have no
official or state character, but in which Czechoslovakia and
especially the KSC have an interest. These events and confer-
ences are those in which no official state organ or its missions
abroad may become involved. The primary task of the Institute
for Contacts with Abroad is the care of official or private
persons (with the exception of those invited by the government)
who have been asked to-come to Chechoslovakia and in whom
the Czechs have an interest.
Czechoslovakia-China Friendship Association
a. Date established: Sometime in 1953, all sinology students in
Prague were informed that they were automatically members of
the Czech-Chinese Friendship Association, which was said to
be connected with the Oriental Institute. Few of the students
paid dues, however, and they did not know whether this asso-
ciation really functioned or merely existed on paper.

Czechoslovak-Soviet Friendship Society (Svaz Ceskoslovensko-Sovetskeho
Pratelstvi SCSP Union of Czechoslovak - Soviet Friendship)
a. Date established: An association of Friends of the Soviet Union
(Svaz pratel SSSR Uion) was established by the Communist
Party of Czechoslovakia in 1933. It was a small organization
with a headquarters in Prague and a few branches in major
cities. After almost six years of inactivity during World
War II, the association was revived in 1945. At the same
time a new organization, the Society for Cultural Cooperation
with the Soviet Union (Spolecnost pro kulturni styky se SSSR)
was established. The two organizations merged after February
1948 to create the present Society.
b. Address: The headquarters of the Central Committee (Ustredni
Vybor) of the SCSP is in a five-story building at Smetanovo
nabrezi 18, Prague. A headquarters for Slovakia, Slovensky
Vybor SCSP, is at Tolsteho ulice 3, Bratislava. Branches
of the Society exist in every region (kraj.) and district (o1 es).
In addition to the headquarters of the society, Prague has
a regional committee for the Prague Region and a city com-
mittee for the city itself. Both of these committees have
offices at Vaclavske narneesti 36, Prague. Every district with-
in the Prague Region has a committee, the addresses of which
are listed in the Prague telephone book. The SCSP also has
committees. in industrial installations, commercial enterprises,
government offices, schools, housing developments, etc.
c. Officers: As of 1960 the SCSP was the second largest mass
organization in Czechoslovakia with about ?,100,000 members,
who made up 20 regional, 297 district, and about 22,000
local units. The society has two types of employees: a
permanent staff of paid employees and unpaid workers. The

permanent staff consists of political workers all of whom are
party members, and of economic-administrative workers (C'om-
munists and non-Communists). The unpaid employees usually
work on a voluntary basis (they are usually lecturers, teachers
in small. towns and villages, accountants in farmers' coopera-
tives, etc.) and are rewarded for their volunteer activities
with occasional free trips to the Soviet Union or to one! of
the other Communist countries.

d. Publications: In March 1959 it was reported that the Society
would initiate publication of a bulletin beginning in April
1959, and an illustrated monthly in the Arab language be-
ginning in July 1959. In April 1959 it was reported that
the publication GDR Review (see section 'd' of the Society
for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries, above), in
Arabic, was sent to 10 countries and was published in 27,000
copies.
e. Remarks: Branches of the Society are to be found in Leipzig
and Dresden. Although the society is actually a department
of the Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries,
an effort is being made to give the appearance that it is
an independent organization.
German Society for Cultural and Economic Exchange with Poland (Deutsche
Gesellschaft fuer Kultur und. Wirtschaftsaustausch mit Poleu
a. Date established: Unofficially founded in East Germany in Fall
19$9; officially constituted in December 1949. The original

for Freedom and Good Neighborliness." It is not known when
the 64ciety assumed its present name.

(Bezirksvorstaende) (16), composed of an average of 60
honorary members and six employees. The secretariat.: of a
regional board is composed of a chief secretary, who has
coordinating functions; a secretary who is in charge of
the regional agitprop section; and, in larger regions, a
secretary incharge of higher education institutes and,a
secretary for Science and Culture (Arts and Sciences).
Subordinate to the regional boards are the district
boards (Kreisevorstaende), having an average of 30 honorary
members, two paid secretaries and, in larger districts, one
instructor.
Under each regional and district board there is a House
of Friendship. In addition, Friendship Automobiles are used
for propaganda in rural communities.
Subordinate to the district boards are the basic cells
in plants and residential areas (Wohngruppen). In larger
cities there are intermediate organizations between the
district boards and the basic cells: these are the city
district boards.

Editor-in-Chief Josef SCEUM
Editor (fnu) RADULOVICZ (female)
Secy Ursula THOMAS
This publication is issued twice a month (since January
1960) and, since May 1960, has been circulated in 60,000
copies. It publishes decisions made by the Central Board
and gives information on the organization's program.
Presse der Sowjetunion (Press of the Soviet Union)
This newspaper is issued twice a month and gives infor-
mation on Soviet inventions and operating methods. Up
to about April 1960 it had a circulation of about 80,000.
Freie Welt (Free World)
An illustrated magazine which, in 1957, possessed.a
circulation of about 100, 040. It is for general public
consumption and carries articles about the USSR, the
satellites, and occasionally about Western countries.
.It appears weekly.
Other publications sponsored by the Society and known to
exist in 1957 were: the bi-monthly journal Soviet Science, the
monthly journal Soviet Literature, the "Book of the Month" (a transla-
tion of the work of some modern Soviet author), and the "Twittle
Youth Series" (books in this series are published about every two
weeks and run the gamut from fairy-tales to spy, adventure and
detective stories of either Russian, German, or east-bloc origin.
Publishing Houses
Information obtained in 1957. stated that the press of the
Soviet Union was published by the Congress Publishing House, located
on ThKlmannplatz in.Berlin in the Parliament House (Hans des National
rats). The publisher was the Press Office of the Minister President
of the GM. Another report obtained in 1957 reflected that another
publishing house connected with the Society was Verlag Iultur and
Fortschritt, Berlin W 8, Taubenstrasse. It is, perhaps, the publisher
of Free World. It is directly under the authority of the Central
Board.
