(23 Dec 1975) 7551: LAOS: THE COMMUNISTS TAKE OVER 24 mins (English synch: 2 mins 8 secs) On December 4th 1975 the Pathet Lao Communists in Laos achieved the final victory of their 20-year struggle for power when they dismantled the neutralist government of Prince Souvanna Phouma, abolished the monarchy and proclaimed a people's Democratic Republic. The new regime, led by Premier Kaysone Phomivan and President Souphanouvong, declared that self-reliance and discipline would be the qualities needed to rebuild Laos. Their chief tool in remodelling the state is the political seminar which all must attend. Russian aid is also increasing. The takeover drove thousands into exile and increased tension with Thailand.
