Despite changes in the international constellation since "Russia
and Germany "initially appeared in 1965, the relationship between
these two nations remains the most important single issue in
European politics and East-West affairs. This study of what
Russians and Germans have thought of each other and the fateful
consequences of their interacting ideas is of lasting
significance.
The fact that Russia and Germany have embodied extreme
manifestations of the totalitarian plague in the twentieth century.
After briefly exploring the historical origins of Russophobia in
Germany and of anti-Germanism in Russia, Laqueur reviews in detail
the confrontation of Nazism and Bolshevism that culminated in World
War II. He deals with the Russian origins of National Socialism and
the ideology of the Russian far right from the days of the "Black
Hundred" to its recent revival.
This edition includes a major new introduction by the author,
reviewing developments in the relationship between Russia and
Germany in the last 25 years, and speculating about its future.
Long out of print, "Russia and Germany "will be again welcomed by
political scientists, students of international relations, and all
those with an interest in recent history and current events.
