Формирование политической культуры российских немцев: трансформации, переселение, реабилитация. 1980 – 1990-е годы

Abstract

The journal "Historical and Social-Educational Thought" initiated a discussion dedicated to the historical date  the 100th anniversary of the formation of the USSR. The proposed topic allows scientists to turn once again to the history of the existing Soviet state (USSR), created by the will of the peoples themselves in December 1922. Undoubtedly, the very fate of the peoples inhabiting its territory is connected with the history of the USSR. One of the notable features in the structure of state education was the community of Soviet Germans, who had to go through many transformations at different stages of the development of Soviet statehood. These processes were primarily associated with the formation of an ethnic community under Soviet conditions, the destructive impact of the state on its life during the 19411945 war, and the difficulties of economic revival. The time that followed was not calm either. This situation was due to the unsolvability of problems, the continuous search for opportunities to improve living conditions. Despite the difficulties of overcoming, the community remained characteristic of the strengthening of the positions of Soviet Germans in society, the formation of their political culture, the fostering of a culture of interethnic communication, and the solution of political tasks associated with the revival of Soviet Germans.
