On June 6, 1945, on the territory of the defeated Nazi Germany, occupied by the troops of the USSR, the Soviet Military Administration (SVAG) was created. Tens of thousands of ordinary Soviet people who came to serve in this organization took up a job for which they were never prepared, and saw a strange world that they never expected to see. Employees of the SVAG, 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 by Vladimir and Marina Kozlov is the first monograph on 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 foreign countries. In the course of this experiment, the Stalinist regime showed itself, exposed its load-bearing structures and specific features, demonstrated to Europe the various human types that it had formed. The monograph is based on a huge set of SVAG documents, most of which are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. Vladimir Alexandrovich Kozlov - Candidate of Historical Sciences, independent researcher. Marina Evgenievna Kozlova is a journalist and historian.
