Abstract
Many years of work resulted in a book on the everyday life of Soviet military and civil personnel of the Soviet occupation forces and administration in Germany in 1945–49. The current state of research does not allow a generalized socio-cultural overview as yet, but contemporary witnesses can provide us with interesting ego-sources. Twelve of such sources, flanked by rare photographs, were compiled into a book which is intended for broad readership in Germany and suggests a multi-perspective view of the new beginning in Germany after the end of the war in 1945. The article contains a fragment of the introduction to the book.

Summary
К концу 1945 г. из Германии было выведено 500 000 бойцов Красной Армии. Тем не менее, на оккупированных немецких территориях оставалось еще очень много красноармейцев. Many years of work resulted in a book on the everyday life of Soviet military and civil personnel of the Soviet occupation forces and administration in Germany in 1945–49. Повседневная жизнь военнослужащих советской оккупационной зоны Из чего складывалась повседневная жизнь оккупантов после мая 1945 г., что двигало ими как личностями, нравилось ли им служить в Германии или нет, как конкретно вознаграждался и оценивался их труд, как они поддерживали связь с родиной, – всего этого мы, немцы, не знаем.
