Binding tight and solid. As an exceptional publication marking the 70th anniversary of the Stalin-Hitler Pact and the outbreak of World War II�"as well as the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Comintern�"Aufbau-Verlag presents a fundamental, extensively annotated chronicle of documents that, until recently, remained strictly secret and inaccessible in Russian, German, and Swiss archives. The thematic scope is defined by two pivotal turning points in global history: o The Soviet Union�s�"and the communist parties��"rupture with anti-fascism and solidarity at the outset of World War II, during the "dark years" of communism (1939�"1941) , as a direct consequence of the Stalin-Hitler Pact. O The new symbiosis of Soviet patriotism and anti-fascism that emerged following the proclamation of the "Great Patriotic War" in June 1941. To this day, the Soviet Union�s triumphant narrative as a victorious power in World War II overshadows the collaboration between the dictators�"and the "German-Soviet friendship"�"that prevailed from September 1939 to June 1941, during what Victor Serge termed the "midnight of the 20th century." The volume focuses specifically on the role played by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and its autocratic leader, and�"even more particularly�"on the role of the Comintern and the communist parties of Europe, not least among them the KPD (Communist Party of Germany). For the first time, comprehensive evidence is presented regarding the communist parties� abrupt ideological realignment in support of the pact of friendship between Germany and the Soviet Union. These documents reveal, first and foremost, an overt endorsement of the Nazi regime�"support that went so far as to include applause for Hitler�s war against Europe and civilization itself�"and, significantly, shed light on fascinating aspects of the *mentalit� * of the era, capturing the disorientation, doubt, bewilderment, and dissent experienced by party leaders, rank-and-file members, and the broader public across the political spectrum, from the Left to the Liberals. These sources continue to document the radical shift in policy toward resistance against the Wehrmacht�s attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941. The wealth of newly accessible archival material reveals Politburo resolutions; instructions issued to communist parties by Comintern Secretary-General Dimitrov, Foreign Commissar Molotov, and Stalin himself; encrypted telegrams; original documents of both Communist and Nazi propaganda�"some of which remain startling and difficult to digest even today; letters and correspondence; programs and manifestos; operational orders for covert missions or bombing attacks behind enemy lines; and manuscripts for radio propaganda broadcasts. Examining communist politics�"and their resonance within public opinion�"as a transnational, European phenomenon helps to break through the dominance of predominantly national cultures of memory. These national narratives remain characterized to this day�"from France to the Baltic and Central European states, and from Germany across the Balkans to Russia�"by silence or belated reckoning, by reinterpretation, or by diplomatic maneuvering. Silence regarding concentration camps and the persecution of Jews; applause for Hitler�s war; the renunciation of resistance�"followed by its problematic resumption. European taboos of memory are confronted, and foundational myths are called into question. Presented as "insider insights," these documents illustrate the Orwellian mechanisms and visions�"the manipulative propaganda and rhetoric�"that, in the name of Communism and the defense of the Soviet Union, effectively delivered Europe into the clutches of Hitler�s war machine. Following the Wehrmacht�s invasion of Poland, Comintern propaganda designated England and France�"rather than the aggressor, Hitler�s Germany�"as the primary enemy. Thälmann and other German communists were abandoned just as nonconformist European intellectuals were suppressed. Walter Ulbricht�"who would later become the head of state of the GDR�"demanded that the word "Nazi" be expunged from the KPD�s vocabulary and openly mocked writers living in exile. For the most part, the Communist International and the KPD remained silent regarding concentration camps and the persecution of Jews�"as did Soviet state and foreign policy, in any case. Through an innovative presentation of documents, chronologies, commentaries, and illustrations, a collage emerges that�"with its staccato rhythm of instructions and reactions�"adequately conveys the profound rupture within a political culture that had been shaped by the Left since the nineteenth century. Yet such perverted thinking and action shocked anti-fascists as well as left-wing and liberal intellectuals worldwide. Statements and correspondence from Thomas and Heinrich Mann, George Orwell, Octavio Paz, Julien Gracq, John Strachey, Willy Brandt, Paul Nizan, Willi Münzenberg, A. S. Neill, Wilhelm Reich, and others coalesce into a stirring contemporary historical debate�"one that is effectively rediscovered, and thereby virtually constituted, within the pages of this volume. Thus, Willi Münzenberg�"the brilliant former KPD propagandist�"hurled the damning indictment at the Russian dictator: "The Traitor, Stalin, Is You!"�"a phrase that gave the book its title. Shortly before his mysterious death in southern France, one of the Nazi regime�s most feared opponents�"the architect of a vast.; 182 X 38 X 250 millimeters; 540 pages. N� de r�f. du vendeur 74285
