- Abstract
The article describes the latest volume of the series "The GDR in the View of the Stasi", which focuses on the year 1983. The secret reports of the GDR State Security to the SED leadership are edited by Daniela Münkel on behalf of the BStU. The volume contains a concise introduction to the historical context and the topics of the reports. In 1983, particular attention was given to the Protestant churches, economic problems, and the new environmental and peace groups. The reports also provide insights into the reactions of the GDR population to the decision of the German Bundestag to station missiles and the Soviet response. The volume also includes information about incidents at the border and crimes committed by Soviet military personnel in the GDR. The reports offer a unique perspective on GDR society from the viewpoint of the Stasi.
