About the Book

English summary: The book analyzes the role, activities and influence of the East German Ministry of State Security (MfS or Stasi) not only in connection with the Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) and its follow-up conferences (i. e., the "CSCE Process"), but also in terms of limiting its influence upon East German society in terms of improved human rights and increased human contacts between East and West. On the one hand, the MfS supported the hard line of the East German party and state leadership in the CSCE process - also, when necessary, in opposition to the Soviet Union. On the other hand, the MfS supported Moscow's demands - also communicated by its "fraternal organ", the KGB - that the East German leadership should conduct a policy of strict "delimitation" (Abgrenzung) with regard to West Germany in order to seal Germany's division. In general, Minister of State Security Erich Mielke supported the hardest possible line toward West Germany, whether as a representative of the East German Party leadership with regard to Moscow or as a supporter of Moscow's hard line for the GDR towards West Germany within the SED regime. However, the economic weakness of the GDR and the Soviet Union, further exacerbated by the arms race with NATO and especially the U.S. in the 1980's, led to concessions by both regimes to the West both within and outside of the CSCE process that further limited the possibilities of the MfS in terms of repressing East German dissidents. More importantly, this was also the case with regard to the growing movement to emigrate from the GDR to West Germany that had developed in response to the GDR's signing of the CSCE Final Act in Helsinki in August 1975. In the end, the Stasi, which had always been a "servant of two masters" - i. e. the East German Party and the Soviet Union, represented by the KGB - could no longer keep the domestic effects arising from the CSCE process and detente under control because of the concessions of its two erstwhile "masters" to the West. German description: Das Buch analysiert die Rolle und Wirkung des ostdeutschen Ministeriums fur Staatssicherheit (MfS) im Zusammenhang mit dem nach der Unterzeichnung der Schlussakte der Konferenz fur Sicherheit und Zusammenarbeit in Europa (KSZE) entfachten diplomatischen Prozess (KSZE-Prozess) in Europa und bei dem Versuch der Eindammung von dessen nachfolgenden Auswirkungen in den Bereichen der Menschenrechte und der menschlichen Kontakte auf die DDR und Osteuropa. Auf der einen Seite unterstutzte die MfS-Fuhrung die harte Linie der Partei- und Staatsfuhrung der DDR im KSZE-Prozess, auch gegenuber Moskau. Auf der anderen Seite unterstutzte das MfS weitgehend die Forderungen Moskaus gegenuber der SED-Fuhrung zur Abgrenzung der DDR von der Bundesrepublik. Der Minister fur Staatssicherheit Erich Mielke agierte normalerweise als Verfechter einer moglichst harten Linie gegenuber der Bundesrepublik innerhalb und ausserhalb des KSZE-Prozesses, ob als Vertreter der Interessen der Partei- und Staatsfuhrung der DDR gegenuber Moskau oder als Verfechter der sowjetischen Linie in der SED-Fuhrung im Bundnis mit dem sowjetischen Bruderorgan, dem KGB. Die wirtschaftliche Schwache der Sowjetunion bzw. der DDR, verscharft durch weitere Militarausgaben wegen der Aufrustung der NATO und insbesondere der USA, fuhrte aber zu Zugestandnissen beider Regimes innerhalb und ausserhalb des KSZE-Prozesses, die die Repressionsmoglichkeiten des MfS gegenuber ostdeutschen Oppositionellen bzw. der - nach der Unterzeichnung der KSZE-Schlussakte entstandenen - Ausreisebewegung erheblich einschrankten. Am Ende konnte das MfS als Diener zweier Herren - die SED-Fuhrung und die Sowjetunion, vertreten durch den KGB - die innenpolitischen Auswirkungen des KSZE-Prozesses wegen der Zugestandnisse seiner beiden Herren an den Westen nicht mehr unter Kontrolle halten.
