On June 6, 1945, the Soviet Military Administration (SVAG) was created on the territory of defeated Nazi Germany, occupied by the troops of the USSR. Tens of thousands of ordinary Soviet people who came to serve in this organization took up a business for which they were never prepared, and saw a strange world that they never expected to see. SVAG employees, their children and household members existed in a special society - the "little USSR," a miniature embodiment of Soviet laws, customs, foundations and prejudices. The book of Vladimir and Marina Kozlov is the first monograph devoted to the social history of this community, which found itself in the very center of post-war Europe. The authors consider the occupation of Germany as a unique experiment that gave rise to a violent reaction of the mass "Stalinist man" to abroad. During this experiment, the Stalinist regime proved itself, exposed its supporting structures and specific features, demonstrated to Europe the various human types it formed. The monograph is based on a huge set of SVAG documents, most of which are first introduced into scientific circulation. Vladimir Alexandrovich Kozlov - candidate of historical sciences, independent researcher. Marina Evgenievna Kozlova - journalist, historian.
