Report of Professor of RSUH Boris Khavkin

Abstract of the report: during the Cold War the history of the German Resistance was one of the sectors of the front of the political and ideological struggle between the East and West, in particular between the USSR and the USA. In the West, conservatives and church opposition were considered as an example of the "other Germany". For the Soviet Union, the embodiment of the Resistance was German communists. The conservative opposition as a whole was oriented toward the West (Britain and the USA), the Communists considered it as their ideological and political landmark of the USSR. Thus, the German anti-Hitler resistance, which was the highest manifestation of opposition sentiments in the Reich, was between the two poles - the East and the West. Did he manage to pass between the eastern Scylla and the western Charybdis.
