Collaborationism in World War II

In: International affairs: a Russian journal of world politics, diplomacy and international relations, Band 56, Heft 4, S. 143-155

Abstract

The author argues that European collaborationism is a vast part of the history of World War II. The current European political realities do not call for a revision of the basic mythologemes of the postwar UN-based order. The war of the democratic nations against fascism was much more ambiguous than has traditionally been asserted by the Allies. The author discusses the dynamics of Russian and Eastern European collaboration against the Soviet Union during Campaign Barbarosa. K. Cargill
