About the author

The monograph explores interstate relations between the Soviet Union and the Weimar Republic during the Rapallo period, which was named after the place (Rapallo) where the first equal Soviet-German treaty was signed in April 1922. The author illuminates the Rapallo policy in a new way on the basis of Soviet and foreign publications, as well as German diplomatic documents studied in the Political Archive (Federal Republic of Germany, Bonn). The preparation and conclusion of the Treaty of Rapallo, the Moscow (1925) and Berlin (1926) treaties, the diplomatic struggle around the Locarno conspiracy of the Western powers, and the main results of Soviet-German economic cooperation constitute the main content of the book. Fights between Soviet diplomats of the Leninist school – G.V.Chicherin, M.M.Litvinov and others. – with experienced German diplomats are presented in the book in the form of a lively story based on unique diplomatic records and memoirs.
