Introduction

Originally founded as Society for the Studies of Soviet Culture to accustom Germans with the rather unfamiliar Russian culture, the organization later became a pure propaganda tool. As an interesting turn of events, with the start of reforms in the Soviet Union, membership increased as a sign of support for Gorbatchev's Perestroika policy.
