society for german-soviet friendship

thumb The Society for German-Soviet Friendship (in German, Gesellschaft fur Deutsch-Sowjetische Freundschaft/DSF) was an East German organisation set up to encourage closer co-operation between the German Democratic Republic and the Soviet Union. It was originally founded as the Society for the Studies of Soviet Culture to teach about Russian culture to Germans unfamiliar with it. However, it quickly turned into a propaganda tool and eventually changed its name. However, due to the immense popularity of Mikhail Gorbachev with ordinary East Germans disillusioned with their own authoritarian leaders, the DSF's membership grew massively in the last years of the regime which many interpret as a sign of support of Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika by the East German people. Following the abolishment of the German Democratic Republic, the organization was dissolved.
