The Russian foreign intelligence service today released a report from 1933 on Adolf Hitler’s plans for a coup in what was then the Soviet Union.
The document was published on the Yeltsin Presidential Library website.
The report gives an insight into the Third Reich’s plans for a new state structure for Russia and Belarus.
“The following was also reported on the putsch plans in Russia: According to Hitler’s plan, all Volga Germans will move to Belarus,” says the report of September 19, 1933.
According to Soviet intelligence, the Nazis planned to overthrow the Soviet government and set up a special regime in Belarus subordinate to Moscow, but which would be fully industrialized by Germany and signed special customs union treaties with it, among other things.
Thereafter, a gradual admission by Germany would follow. In fact, the document revealed the Belarusian connection plan.
The publication coincides with the 102nd anniversary of the foreign intelligence service established on December 20, 1920 as the foreign branch of the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission (Cheká).
