October 1969	Polish-Soviet Talks in Moscow Excerpts from Polish-Soviet talks that focus on the China question. Brezhnev posits that the Chinese were the source of ideological divergence, and more specifically that their attitude has progressed to anti-Sovietism and anti-communism. Included is a report from a meeting with Zhou Enlai, who in discussing Czechoslovakia said a "process of bourgeoisie transformation and corruption was taking place over there, which is normal for all of the socialist countries." He attributed the cultural revolution with cutting off the roots of corruption in China.
January 2, 1968	Polish Informational Note from the Interkit Meeting in Moscow, December 1967 An informational note detailing the discussions and proposals made during the Interkit meeting, which analyzed the situation within the CCP and the PRC, specifically the development of Maoism. General tone is negative and it is suggested that it is the obligation of the group to support "elements in China which maintain their loyalty to Marxism-Leninism and counter Maoism."

February 18, 1969	Hungarian Politburo Minutes of the meeting of the Political Committee on 18 February 1969 One of the main agenda items during this meeting was a discussion of the China question and a recent memorandum on the issue.

Participants also make predictions of how the situation in China will likely develop.

Ponomarov provide information on the situation in China that is discussed during a confidential meeting of CC secretaries.
