The IF DDR now has a Telegram channel to provide updates on our latest articles and interviews (particularly for the new "Friendship!" research platform dedicated to anti-imperialist strategies and internationalism in the socialist camp). Follow us here: t.me/IntForschungss…
C'est maintenant disponible en français ! Our "Studies on the DDR" #1 is now available in French! The study provides a basic overview of the German Democratic Republic – how it was founded, the character of its society, and how is was dismantled in 1990: ifddr.org/wp-content/upl…
Really happy to share my new research on depictions of China in DEFA documentaries! rdcu.be/dXfT1
Join us this Thursday to discuss how socialist scholars analysed underdevelopment in #Africa and #Asia and theorized a strategy of "non-capitalist development" for former colonies. The lecture at the University of Bonn can be joined online: ifddr.org/en/event-zef-p…
The advance that DDR has made to improve the lives of women is something that the collective West will not be able to achieve in the following decades. via @_IFDDR ifddr.org/en/ahead-by-a-…
🇲🇱 Die Aufnahme unseres Vortrags über den nichtkapitalistischen Entwicklungsweg Malis in den 1960er Jahren ist jetzt online: youtube.com/watch?v=9zz82U…
Next week, we will be at the University of Bonn to lecture on the theory of "non-capitalist development" in socialist scholarship & what we can learn from its application in states like Mali, Congo-Brazzaville, Afghanistan, and Syria in the 20th century: ifddr.org/en/event-zef-p…
It is widely maintained that trade #unions in "actually existing #socialism" were merely state-run apparatuses to control the workforce. Here, former DDR planning official Uwe Trostel explains the role unions played in East German workplaces. Full video: youtube.com/watch?v=Ak7dnx…
In the 1970s, former colonies like Angola, PR Congo, Mozambique, PDR Yemen, & Ethiopia embarked on revolutionary paths toward socialism. Our latest article looks at how Marxist-Leninist scholars understood the forms of state power evolving in these states: ifddr.org/en/the-global-…
Hier geht’s zur Aufzeichnung unserer Veranstaltung 🇲🇳 „Sozialismus in der Steppe - Exkursion durch die mongolische Geschichte der letzten 100 Jahre“: youtube.com/watch?v=hjydmr…
Join us on Sunday (20.10.) in #Berlin for a discussion on socialist development in #Mongolia. We will be exploring, among other things, the concept of "non-capitalist development" and how Mongolia was considered a role model for the Global South. Info: ifddr.org/veranstaltung-…
In 1975, scholars and cadres from seven socialist states convened in Berlin for a conference on Mongolia’s path from feudalism to socialism and how this historical experience could inform non-capitalist development strategies throughout Africa and Asia. [A short thread: 🧵]
Despite suffering a far higher degree of war destruction & being cut off from raw materials, East Germany was able to rapidly re-industrialize after 1945, constructing a mixed economy based on worker & peasant power. Our new article examines this period: ifddr.org/en/from-recons…
🇲🇳 Vor 100 Jahren wurde die Mongolische Volksrepublik ausgerufen, der zweite sozialistische Staat der Welt. Bis dahin prägten 200 Jahre Fremdherrschaft und feudale Verhältnisse das einstige Großreich. Welche Entwicklungen und Umbrüche hat das Land seitdem erlebt? Kommt vorbei! 👇

In this new article, we examine the economic problems of the "transitional period" in East Germany (1945–1949). Struggling against post-war destruction and separatist policies of the West, workers in the East began rebuilding & taking control of industry: ifddr.org/en/from-recons…

"#Afghanistan cannot be allowed to set a precedent." An interview with Dr. Matin Baraki on the historical lessons from the national-democratic revolution in the Hindu Kush and how the USA & its allies unleashed arch-reactionary “Mujahideen” to smother it. ifddr.org/en/afghanistan…

Women's employment in socialist #DDR: Women accounted for more than 50% of judges; 35% of mayors; and 40% of parliament. Despite not reaching full parity in management positions, by 1986, there were more women in management in the DDR (34%) than there are in Germany today (29%).
The land reform (1945-46) & cooperative movement (1952-1960) were arguably the most revolutionary upheavals in East German history. To mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the #GDR, here is a preview of our upcoming study on socialist agriculture: ifddr.org/en/the-most-re…
