Conclusion.Presenting the history of an unexplored yet significant institution in East Germany, this book analyses the development of the Parteihochschule Karl Marx (PHS), a training institute for Communist party officials and members of the functional elite. By chronicling the PHS from its establishment in 1946, the author demonstrates how it sought to implement Stalin's rule, and sheds light on the activities of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) in the German Democratic Republic. The book focuses on the leadership of Walter Ulbricht and Erich Honecker as First Secretary and General Secretary of the SED respectively, and examines key personalities within the PHS. The activities of party functionaries under the rule of Hanna Wolf and Kurt Tiedke are scrutinised, revealing the dogmatic nature of the East German regime. An essential read for anyone interested in German history and East European Communism, this book brings to light one of the key institutions in implementing Stalinism and Marxism-Leninism in the German Democratic Republic.Palgrave Studies in Political History,2946-5184Europe, CentralHistoryWorld politicsRussiaHistoryEurope, EasternHistorySoviet UnionHistoryHistory, ModernPhilosophyHistoryHistory of Germany and Central EuropePolitical HistoryRussian, Soviet, and East European HistoryModern HistoryHistory of PhilosophyEurope, CentralHistory.World politics.RussiaHistory.Europe, EasternHistory.Soviet UnionHistory.History, Modern.PhilosophyHistory.History of Germany and Central Europe.Political History.Russian, Soviet, and East European History.Modern History.History of Philosophy.335.43943.10875Orlow Dietrich998112MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910520092203321The Parteihochschule Karl Marx under Ulbricht and Honecker, 1946-19902582888UNINA
