Published on 20 April 1978 in the Maoist weekly L'Humanité Rouge, this rather revolting interview with the leader of Democratic Kampuchea, conducted by "friendly" Yugoslav journalists, takes stock of the situation after three years of "cultural revolution". It is an interesting historical document, because few Westerners were able to visit Cambodia during this period, but it is also of value only in revealing the approaches of "Brother Number 1" in his vision of Cambodia's future, a vision in which the sad fate and real suffering of the Cambodian people during the Pol Pot years are obviously not mentioned.
