Behind the ambiguities, an important issue resides in the concept of Eurocommunism: the FCP distancing itself from the Soviet Union. By using the recordings from the sessions of the FCP Central Committee, this article divides the period in two. From 1973 to 1975, the leaders of the FCP hoped that some symbolic and limited initiatives could improve the image of the Party without displeasing the Soviet power. Also, particularly owing to their communist political culture, the French leaders did not want a clash with the Soviet Union. The formers were always thinking that the reality of Soviet life steadily improved, in terms of living standards and even in terms of freedom. From 1976 onwards, however, the critics of the USSR increased and became stronger, and in 1977 the breakdown between the two parties seemed to be a real possibility.
