Schmidt: the worse the GDR seems to people, the better the current state seems

According to him, this is the essence of propaganda. “The worse the GDR appears to most people, the better the present state appears. And of course, the GDR itself was a challenge for West Germany, because everything could go to the destruction of capitalism, Schmidt said. He added that it was a question of the existence of the West, and the local authorities could not allow it. Earlier, political scientist Kamkin said that there is a demonization of one of the pages of German history, the one associated with the Stasi. He explained that the special service of the GDR is often compared with the Gestapo or other security agencies of the Third Reich. Writer Katrin Ronstock, in turn, noted that modern German publicists are trying to create a true image of the GDR. She pointed out that life in the GDR was now being devalued, although it was in many ways better than in the western part of the country.
