Emigranten und Remigranten in Bildungspolitik und Pädagogik ‐ die Erfahrung Sowjetunion in der ostdeutschen Nachkriegsentwicklung

Abstract

The article looks into the pedagogical aspects of the Soviet zones and the early G.D.R.’s dependence on the U.S.S.R.. The analysis is primarily aimed at the personal, individual dimensions of this relation. Teachers and educationalists, having returned to the Soviet zone or G.D.R. after a long period of emigration in the U.S.S.R., are given particular attention. The article focuses on their situation of emigration and re‐emigration, and on their opportunities of participation, influence and action in educational policy and pedagogy. This eventually permits a more precise definition of the function and part those people had in the establishment of the Soviet influence and in the constitution of the educational system of the G.D.R..
