englischThe short 20th century was created in St. Petersburg during the October Revolution of 1917 and ended with the peaceful revolution in Germany. In that time, communism, which had failed in theory and practice, developed too strongly, even in Germany and with historic repercussions. All this is reason enough to think critically about the implications of communism, not only for Russians and Germans, and what gave it its impetus. Germany plays an important role in the history of communism, and not only because of Marx and Engels. At the beginning of the 1920s, revolutionary expectations were also directed towards Germany. "Weimar" had been eroded by the Communist Party of Germany, while Stalinism contributed to the division of Germany and the GDR lived under the protection of the CPSU. How does Russia remember its past? What became of the "socialist nations"? Must a history of collaboration be written? Does Soviet dissidence play a role in literature? Many questions can be asked – this book tries to give some answers to them.
