Hungarian archival documents suggest that although the North Vietnamese regime did not execute as many persons during its land reform campaign as its foreign critics claimed, it had to cope with serious political and socioeconomic discontent in the first post-liberation years. The various difficulties that generated this discontent were partly rooted in the legacy of French rule and the abrupt partition of the country, but DRV policies were not blameless either. Almost every major stratum and group of northern society had some grievances, and the gradual exacerbation of domestic tension probably played a more important role in the introduction of “corrections” by the North Vietnamese leadership in the fall of 1956 than external influences. While Hanoi's land reform conceptions had been inspired both by Chinese and East European models, the radical revision of the land reform campaign had relatively little to do with the contemporaneous liberalization of Soviet and Chinese internal policies. In fact, at first the VWP leaders proved quite reluctant to follow the example of the Communist giants in the field of political liberalization. The Hungarian documents also reveal that the execution of the land reform as well as the treatment of private entrepreneurs and “old” officials was strongly influenced by the regime's changing evaluation of the prospects of national unification. Unification plans could either harden or soften the government's internal policies. While numerous authors claimed that the North Vietnamese leaders never expected the 1956 elections to take place, it seems that many domestic measures that the regime took in 1954-55 were motivated by the intention of facilitating a peaceful electoral victory. |
