In the 20th century, propaganda became a powerful weapon to influence minds. Skillfully creating an image of the enemy, inciting and maintaining a feeling of hatred towards the enemy is one of the reasons for the unprecedented cruelty and inhumanity of the wars of the past century. The author-compiler of this book, professional historian D. Khmelnitsky, introduces the reader to the peculiarities of the Nazis’ perception of the Soviet Union. The instrument for instilling anti-Soviet beliefs in the Germans was not only special propaganda texts, exhibitions, but also simply travel notes of German engineers who found themselves in the USSR, revelations of political refugees, etc. Fortunately, the Stalinist totalitarian regime provided many subjects for Nazi propagandists. The texts presented here, carefully commented by D. Khmelnitsky, will undoubtedly be of interest not only to specialists and students, but also to ordinary readers as a historical source about life in the Soviet Union in the 30-40s of the last century.
