Russland (Nazi Propaganda, 1936)

JF Ptak Science Books  Post 2822

This is a nasty piece of Nazi anti-Soviet/Communist propaganda, published as #43 in a series called “Silvaniadruck” in 1936. It is a nonstop attack on the Soviet system and also on the Russian people. The pamphlet is only 24 pages long but it certainly feels like more, especially if you could weigh vindictiveness and diatribe. It is composed of 12 sections ranging from the new economic policy of the country, to the right of the Soviet citizen, religion, family, church, and education, and the period of 1918-1921, though the sections I wanted to try to read and share were on the Famines (“der Hunger”) and the “Terror.“
